Scott Rohrer
Benefiting his family business, Scott Rohrer made the decision to convert his business to Mister Sparky, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, and One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning franchise brands in 2003. His grandfather started the family business in 1959, and since then Scott followed in both his grandfathers and fathers footsteps. Also having sparked an interest in his three sons, the family business will continue for decades to come.
Spanning over five counties in Pennsylvania, Scott employs around 50 people, depending on the season. The systems put in place by becoming a part of a franchise allows owners to focus on expanding the business rather than the details of daily work. Scott knew it was a no brainer converting to a franchise system and is happy to bring the family business into a new light.

Dennis & Elisa Conrade
For Dennis and Elisa Conrade being an electrician is in their blood. Dennis’ father, uncles and several cousins were all electricians. After an apprenticeship and years in the business, Dennis and Elisa took over Conrade Electric Co., originally founded by Dennis’ aunt and uncle in 1959. After receiving a postcard from Clockwork Home Services, they responded to the card and went to Profit Day. From there Dennis and Elisa were sold on the business model and were ready to move forward.
In 2012, the Little Rock Market became available and the Conrades purchased the Mister Sparky franchise. They put more effort into converting their business from commercial new construction to residential service and repair. Today their business is 85% residential service and repair.
As local business owners, Dennis and Elisa recognize the importance in giving back to their community by participating in the annual Summer Cereal Drive, that sponsors ball teams, and donating to the Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
They feel that training is the key to success for their business. The Conrades meet with their team at least twice a week, through this they continue to use Success Academy and look to fellow franchisees to address areas that may need improvement. They find that making sure the team understands the goals and standards of the company ensures good outcomes for their clients.
Dennis and Elisa believe that unparalleled customer service is a duty, not a choice. This motto is what makes their business continually successful.
