has partnered with Franchise FastLane to ramp up franchise sales. RealClean Aircraft is a first-to-market franchise that provides interior and exterior detailing services for general aviation and commercial airplanes. The global market for aircraft cleaning and detailing services is a healthy one; Cognitive Market Research reports that its compound annual growth rate will be 6.3% from now through 2030.
Carey Gille, CEO of the franchise sales organization Franchise FastLane, believes RealClean Aircraft Detailing is well positioned to tap that market now and in the future. She credits RealClean’s owners and the venture capital firm Franchise Altitude with developing an impressive go-to-market strategy for the all-mobile B2B and B2C business model that allows executive ownership. RealClean already enjoys a reputation for top-tier customer service, she notes in a news release. “This concept stands out in an incredibly niche market and has no national competitors,” resulting in exciting opportunities for prospective owners of the aircraft detailing franchise. “We’re thrilled to partner with a team bringing such an innovative solution to a unique and underserved industry.”
RealClean Aircraft Detailing’s Back Story
Dustin Zeitler, a commercial pilot, came up with the concept for RealClean Aircraft Detailing about two decades ago. He and co-owner Luke Goucher decided to franchise the company in 2023. By teaming up with Franchise FastLane, which specializes in nurturing the responsible growth of emerging brands, they plan to expedite expansion of RealClean.
Zeitler says RealClean Aircraft Detailing and Franchise FastLane have spent considerable time devising an excellent territory-mapping system across the country. “We’re highly confident we can award up to 10 or 15 units in our first year together and provide our new franchisees with everything in the way of training and support necessary to succeed,” he says. “To borrow a commonly used phrase, we believe the sky is the limit.”
Co-owner Goucher agrees that the company is primed for growth. “Aviation is an industry that prides itself on the value of establishing and maintaining personal relationships – taking care of the customers and reminding them how special they are. At RealClean Aircraft, we know we’re the best at what we do because we’ve worked extremely hard to get it right. That’s why we believe this is the right time and right place to expand the brand into new markets across the U.S.”
