Koala Insulation is excited to announce the opening of its first Canadian franchise location based in Cambridge, Ontario, servicing the Kitchener Waterloo region.

Koala Insulation offers residential, commercial, and industrial insulation services, and has been on a mission to fill a need for eco-friendly insulation services, dedicated to improving energy efficiency, comfort, and indoor air quality. This expansion marks a significant new franchise business opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to capitalize on the expanding home services sector, and growing demand for sustainable home solutions.

The first Canadian location, led by local entrepreneurs Justin Prittie and Greg Quaile, aligns with the brand’s recent rapid expansion in the USA to over 400 franchises in four years, demonstrating the significant potential for success here in Canada.

The franchise system’s goal in Canada is 100 franchises with multiple unit ownership Canada-wide within five years, including 35 offices covering all major centers across Canada. “The preliminary focus for Koala Insulation in Canada will be on opening and expanding nationally, starting with the Ontario market,” says Ian Gordon, COO, Koala Insulation Canada. “We are beyond thrilled that our first Canadian franchise location is now a reality and are looking forward to making Koala Insulation the go-to choice for those seeking top-quality insulation and a more healthy and comfortable living environment for everyone, from environmentally conscious homeowners to construction professionals alike.” This launch signifies a promising new franchise business opportunity in the Canadian market.

The brand, ranked #147 on Entrepreneur magazine’s prestigious Franchise 500 list, and number one in the New and Emerging Franchise category in 2024, is ready for the Canadian market, offering a unique franchise business opportunity for those seeking a proven and successful business model.

“The vision for Koala Insulation is to become the trusted leader in Canada for residential, commercial & industrial properties. We are excited to be the first to bring the brand’s proven model for excellence in service and for delivering high-quality installation, customer support, and a commitment to innovation in sustainability to the Kitchener-Waterloo area,” adds Justin Prittie. This initial franchise location represents a valuable new local business with strong local ties.

Justin Prittie has found previous success within the franchise space, owning and operating a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® KCW franchise for the past 12 years. After seeing a growing demand for home efficiency in Canada and a need to reduce greenhouse gasses and support the environment at the same time, Prittie and Quaile, both seasoned business owners, recognized a significant new business opportunity with Koala Insulation. They aligned with the brand’s promise to deliver on a high bar for customer satisfaction and provide versatility and value through eco-friendly insulation services.

“With Koala Insulation under the Herity umbrella, it has provided an incredible foundation of trust, integrity, and a forward-thinking approach that aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver eco-friendly, energy-efficient solutions,” adds Greg Quaile. “Herity’s long-standing commitment to quality and innovation empowers us to expand with confidence, knowing we’re part of a larger vision focused on creating sustainable, comfortable living and working environments for customers across Canada.”
