Slicing and Dicing This Year's Top 50 Service List

A LOOK AT THE CONSOLIDATORS
If this decade becomes known for anything in industry history, it will be for the potentially transformative power of consolidation, especially in the pool/spa maintenance sector. The movement started at the beginning of the decade, and it has made itself known in the Top 50 Service list, with several now ranking. So far, three have made the list long enough to track — SPS PoolCare (formerly Smart Pool Services, with 21 locations), Pool Troopers (19 locations), and National Pool Partners (10 locations), which all have made the list for the last four years in a row. These charts provide data points to explore how the three performed from 2021 to 2024. Growth may not have been as aggressive as expected, given the tempering effect of some economic realities. But these figures suggest that, as a combined force, these consolidators continue to gain.
