“If you want to know how the economy is doing, just ask us if people are taking care of their homes,” Dwyer-Owens said. “Our franchise brands are a great gauge of consumer confidence when it comes to caring for their single biggest possessions — their homes. And business is good.”

Over the past five years, The Dwyer Group said it has increased its number of franchise locations by 27 percent across seven brands. Since launching Rainbow International in 1981, The Dwyer Group has grown over three decades to include Mr. Rooter, Aire Serv, Mr. Electric, Mr. Appliance, Glass Doctor, and The Grounds Guys in that order.

“The Dwyer Group has experienced amazing growth and significant milestones that can be directly attributed to our Code of Values and our passionate team across our entire franchise family,” said Dwyer-Owens. “This reunion will celebrate that success and 30 years of business growth. And we will also pay a special tribute to the exceptional service representatives and office representatives who consistently prove themselves and put the customer first at the grassroots level every single day. They are the front line for our brands making a difference in customers’ lives.”

The theme of the 2011 Annual Reunion is “Customers First.” In line with the theme, the reunion will feature keynote speaker Fred Reichheld, a Bain Fellow and the founder of Bain & Company’s Loyalty Practice, which helps companies achieve results through customer and employee loyalty.
