The new PIRTEK location is its first hydraulic hose service location in South Carolina. Jason Barrs opened his franchise, PIRTEK Columbia, under the company’s Tier 2 model, which allows a franchisee to keep inventory in a small warehouse or storage facility and to lease two vehicles at a lower point of entry. Tier 2 franchisees are expected to grow into a fully staffed and outfitted Service & Supply Center within three years. Each new Mobile Service Vehicle in the fleet widens the franchisee’s exclusive territory.
