Tide Services recently bolstered its franchise development team with three industry veterans in the second half of 2023. This move strengthens Tide Services’ leadership and supports its goal of becoming the top provider of on-demand laundry solutions, leveraging market trends and rising consumer demand for convenience and quality.
The new team members include:
• Lawrence Brown, senior vice president, franchising and development, brings over a decade of executive leadership and development experience, including his role as chief development officer at Fat Tuesday where he spearheaded significant capital investments and opened over three dozen stores in two years. He also served as vice president of business development Americas at Restaurant Brands International, managing the expansion of Burger King across the Americas.
• Ryan Stuckenberg, director of construction, whose background is in construction and project management, having overseen over $200 million in projects annually for Luxottica stores across North America. His strategic approach to construction management and cost reduction has consistently delivered outstanding results.
• Emilie DeBonadonna, director of real estate, who brings expertise in real estate development and strategic planning from her previous role as senior manager of development for Burger King. Her skills in market analysis, site acquisition and lease negotiations will support Tide Services’ expansion goals.
These professionals joined Emily Schneider, director of franchise development, a five-year veteran of Tide Services who has played a pivotal role in the franchise’s growth and success.
Since joining Tide Services, Brown, Stuckenburg and DeBonadonna have become pivotal to the brand’s growth strategy. Their efforts in converting existing drycleaner locations and planning the opening of hundreds of new Tide Laundromat and Tide Cleaners sites over the next two years are accelerating the company’s expansion.
“Our team’s combined expertise is driving Tide Cleaners and Tide Laundromat to new heights,” said Andrew Gibson, CEO of Tide Services. “Alongside Emily Schneider, the team is crucial to our ambitious expansion plans and our goal of becoming the leading brand in the industry.”
