Top Nationwide Home Solutions Franchise Continues Rapid Growth with Additional Arizona Territory

PHOENIX, Ariz. – Building on its 2026 momentum, Closets by Design, a leader in custom home organization solutions, has awarded a new franchise agreement in the Phoenix market. The territory will be owned and operated by Joe Lynch, who brings a background in software development and entrepreneurship to the business.

Lynch built his career in the tech space, most recently founding a fantasy sports app. Prior to that, he worked for a health and wellness company developing iOS applications, gaining experience in product development, user experience, and operations. Originally from Kansas, Lynch attended school in Southern California and lived there for several years before relocating to Phoenix in October 2025 with his wife to pursue business ownership. As he settles into a new city, he views this opportunity as a way to both build a company and establish roots in the area.

“When I came across Closets by Design, it felt like a natural fit,” said Lynch. “This is a fresh start for me in a lot of ways, and I’m excited to become part of the community while offering a service that really makes a difference in people’s homes.”

Lynch was drawn to Closets by Design for its personalized approach designed around each client’s needs. The brand’s operational structure and the flexibility it offers franchise owners in how they grow their business were also key factors in his decision. This development will bring customized storage solutions to homeowners across the Phoenix region, helping create more efficient living spaces with tailored designs for closets, garages, home offices, and other areas of the home.

“Joe is a strong addition to our network of franchise owners,” said Jerry Egner, President of Closets by Design. “His entrepreneurial background and customer-focused mindset make him a great fit for our system. As our brand continues to grow, we remain focused on supporting our franchisees with the tools and resources they need to meet the increasing demand for functional, personalized home organization.”

Closets by Design has established a strong brand identity, proven business model, and an infrastructure for ongoing support that offers training and guidance to potential franchise partners that are seeking to capitalize on escalating consumer demand for functional, personalized home organization.

Rated as the #1 franchise in its category by Entrepreneur Magazine, the brand ranked No. 252 on this year’s 2026 Franchise 500® list — the world’s most comprehensive ranking of franchise opportunities. Looking ahead, Closets by Design plans to expand its footprint further with strategic openings in key growth markets, supported by a robust pipeline of qualified franchise candidates and ongoing innovations in design and customer experience.
