Local New Jersey Business Named Top-Performing
North American Franchise at 2024 Annual PuroClean Owner's
Convention
MORRISTOWN, N.J., June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PuroClean, one of the country's
leading property restoration and remediation franchises, has
announced its 2023 Franchise of the Year. Nelson and
Sujey Rivera, owners of PuroClean of
Morristown, were named the
PuroClean Franchise of the Year at the company's Annual
International Convention. Selected from nearly 500 franchise
locations across North America,
PuroClean of Morristown was
recognized for receiving outstanding scores across several
categories, including sales growth, market share, sales revenue,
and profitability, among others.
The Riveras, who co-own and operate PuroClean of Morristown, Livingston, and Bloomfield, exemplify PuroClean's commitment
to helping New Jersey residents
and their properties recover from the unthinkable when disaster
strikes.
As the third of 12 children, the father of two young daughters,
and a decorated firefighter, Nelson knows the importance of being
there for community members in their darkest hours. Currently the
Deputy Fire Chief in Orange, NJ,
he has earned multiple awards for his bravery and dedication to
service, including the City of
Orange Chamber of Commerce Valor Award, New Jersey State
Firemen's Mutual Benevolent Association Award for Valor, and the
American Red Cross Hero Award.
"There can only be one Franchise of the Year, and with so many
wonderful franchise owners, it's always a tight competition," said
Steve White, President and COO of
PuroClean. "As both a PuroClean Franchise Owner and an active
firefighter, Nelson Rivera has
worked tirelessly to put out both literal and figurative fires,
putting his life on the line for others while expecting nothing in
return. He has seen and helped people through their worst days,
whether it be water, storm, mold, or fire damage. Nelson and Sujey
exemplify what it means to be a true Paramedic of Property
Damage—everyone should take a page or two out of the Rivera
family's book."
Nelson has been a resident of Essex
County since 1999, when his family made the move to
Newark. He later relocated to
Orange, where he began serving as
a firefighter in 2009 and still serves to this day as the Deputy
Fire Chief. Nelson's journey with PuroClean began as a technician,
and it was through working with the owner of PuroClean Livingston
that he discovered his passion for the business.
In 2017, Nelson, along with his co-owner and wife, Sujey, moved
to Livingston to be closer to the
business. Soon afterward, the duo opened their first PuroClean
franchise in Morristown, later
expanding to Bloomfield and then
Livingston, where Nelson first got
his start. Nelson still serves as a chief in the Orange Fire Department, running the business
when not on duty. Now, with a total of five locations – four of
which are in New Jersey – his
franchise serves all of Essex
County and nearby areas. Recently, he expanded into
Oregon in partnership with two
other PuroClean franchise owners.
"We're so honored. All I have to say is that, honestly, in the
almost five years that we've been here, it's been such an
incredible experience. Nelson is such a hardworking person, and
he's so deserving," Sujey said. "I want to give so many thanks to
the corporate team. What we continue to do is never enough; we
always want to try to be better. I appreciate all the support of
everyone, [who] from the beginning, has always just shown so much
love and support. We're here because of all of you. So, thank
you."
