About Aaron:

Aaron Harper's journey from the competitive world of film and television led him to franchising, driven by a passion for empowering others and simplifying the path to business ownership. After a successful period with Patch Boys, where he opened over 400 territories in only a few years, Aaron decided to build something similar on his own, venturing out to transform Rolling Suds, a successful family-owned power washing business, into a franchise.

His approach, rooted in Responsible Franchising, emphasized transparent communication and tailored solutions. He focuses on an adaptive, solution-driven methodology, particularly in areas like technology, scaling, and marketing support, ensuring that Rolling Suds continues to remain agile and responsive to the evolving needs of its franchisees. By focusing on individual growth and rejecting applicants misaligned with their values, Aaron has rapidly expanded Rolling Suds, selling over 200 units in just over a year and a half.

Aaron's trajectory suggests he is well on his way to reshaping the landscape of business ownership, leaving a lasting mark in the franchise industry. Aaron has been profiled in top-tier media outlets such as Entrepreneur, Authority Magazine, Franchise Dictionary Magazine, 1851 Franchise, and many more. Aaron is also a thought leader and influencer in responsible franchising, sharing his journey in real-time through educational videos on his social media channels, keynote speaking engagements, and lending his knowledge to prominent podcasts on a regular basis.
