EverSmith Brands, a commercial facility services franchise platform, announces the opening of EverHUB. The 12,000-square-foot center based in Milford, Ohio, will expand training, technology demonstrations, and support across seven brands as the platform targets more than 1,200 territories within three years.

“Franchisees choose a platform for the support behind them,” says Justin Ghadery, CEO of EverSmith Brands. “EverHUB gives owners across all seven brands access to hands-on training, our Home Office teams, and each other. As we grow beyond 1,200 territories, every new owner will start here.”

EverHUB will serve owners across 1-Tom-Plumber, Clintar, Kitchen Guard, MilliCare, Prism Specialties, The Seals, and U.S. Lawns. Although this facility is located in Ohio, EverSmith Brands’ headquarters will remain in Orlando, Florida.

Hands-On Training

EverHUB features brand-specific training stations that simulate the commercial environments franchisees and their teams encounter in the field. Using commercial equipment, including a partner-contributed walk-in refrigerator, teams can practice service procedures in a controlled setting before applying those skills at customer sites.

The stations will support live demonstrations and hands-on technical instruction, while an 80-person event room will accommodate onboarding, business training, and franchise meetings. The facility also includes a podcast studio and recreation area.

A dedicated AI lab will introduce franchise owners to tools for daily operations and technician training through live demonstrations and case studies.

Equipped with computers, workstations, and virtual reality equipment, the lab will support the development and training of AI agents built using Claude, with a focus on helping franchisees support their teams and improve customer service.

“Having a dedicated facility where owners and team members can train on the equipment, processes, and service standards we use every day will help create greater consistency across the system,” says Chris Kushmaul, Owner of MilliCare in Ann Arbor, Michigan. “For MilliCare, that means better-trained teams, stronger execution in the field, and more confidence as we continue to grow.”

Centering Franchise Owners

EverHUB’s “Voice of the Franchisee” theme recognizes leading owners throughout the facility and highlights their role in shaping the platform’s direction.

“Our franchise owners’ perspectives must remain at the center of every strategic initiative,” Ghadery says. “Every decision we make must consider the impact on their businesses.”

A private grand opening celebration will include a ribbon-cutting, tours, and entertainment, bringing together franchisees from all seven brands, strategic partners, platform leadership, Riverside representatives, franchise brokers, IFA partners, and local officials.

“EverHUB shows a real commitment to helping franchise owners succeed,” shares Brian Marra, Owner of 1-Tom-Plumber Pittsburgh and the brand’s 2026 Franchisee of the Year. “I’m excited for our team to get more hands-on training, explore new technology, and learn from other owners across the EverSmith Brands network. For us, that means better-prepared technicians, stronger service for our customers, and more opportunities to grow.”
