HOODZ of Central Iowa Welcomes New Ownership

IOWA – HOODZ, the trusted leader in commercial kitchen cleaning for businesses nationwide, is undergoing a transfer in ownership of its Central Iowa location. The commercial kitchen cleaning service is backed by BELFOR Franchise Group, a brand management company based in Michigan that backs 13 different franchises and works with thousands of franchisees across North America.

The location is now owned and operated by husband and wife team Brad and Kari Pollock. Kari has an extensive background in management as well as customer service experience in retail and food service environments. Brad has a management background in various customer service fields, including call centers, banks, and retail. Together the Pollocks enjoy spending time with their five kids and tackling various home improvement projects.

Kari and Brad have contrasting yet complementary backgrounds and felt that now was the perfect time to go into business together. As they began looking into potential business opportunities, they wanted an established business with a trusted reputation in the industry. “That was when we discovered HOODZ, and the high level of professionalism they bring to a dirty job in a regulated industry. After meeting the owners of our local HOODZ and hearing of their plans to sell their business, we saw so much opportunity,” said Brad Pollock, co-owner of HOODZ of Central Iowa. “We look forward to building relationships with local business owners and fire marshals as we work with them to keep our customers’ commercial kitchens safe and up to code.”

HOODZ is the nation’s leading authority in kitchen exhaust cleaning, ensuring that restaurant and facility kitchen operations are in full compliance with local laws and safety standards. From its proprietary proactive scheduling platform to customary before and after photo reports, HOODZ has the tools, equipment, and communication to make any and all commercial kitchen cleaning a hassle-free experience.

Nathan Willard, President of HOODZ, is committed to honoring the brand’s admirable focus on providing the ultimate customer experience: “HOODZ occupies a growing niche within the restaurant kitchen exhaust cleaning and maintenance industry. Because of our specialized focus on hood cleaning, HOODZ has established itself as a trusted name within the industry. As Brad and Kari begin providing professional and efficient service across their community, the HOODZ team looks forward to hearing about all the great work they will accomplish.”

Since its founding in 1972, HOODZ has remained the largest self-performing cleaning franchise focused on high quality service and safety. The brand services several industries including facilities within the restaurant, health care, and government fields.
