Daisy is continuing its rapid expansion with the addition of five new franchisees across Colorado, Texas, Arizona, and Florida, marking one of the fastest growth periods in the company’s history. The new owners join Daisy’s network alongside investor Julian Dickenson, who has signed a franchise agreement and is now seeking to acquire an existing integration firm in a major U.S. market.
The company finalized eight new franchise locations in just two months, following recent launches in Boston, Palm Coast, and Carmel. Daisy says this pace reflects broadening demand for reliable smart home installation, integration, and support services, along with increased interest from entrepreneurs drawn to the operational structure of a national platform.
CEO and co-founder Hagan Kappler says the surge in activity points to both the scale of the smart home opportunity and the market’s fragmentation.
“We are thrilled to see such strong momentum in this industry and among investors who recognize both the scale and the fragmentation of the smart home market.”
She adds that Daisy’s goal is to provide a business framework that helps local owners expand more efficiently.
“Daisy’s model offers entrepreneurs a path to build thriving, scalable businesses backed by national brand strength, operational support, and cutting-edge technology.”
The newest franchisees include Kevin Mayer in Colorado’s Central Mountains; Eduardo Guerra in Houston; Ray Tamasovich in North Phoenix; and John Woods in Tampa, who is partnering with New Jersey franchisee Chad Jasinski. Each comes from a background in technology, business leadership, or customer service, and all will convert or launch their locations by the end of 2025.
Co-founder Dion Persson says the company’s focus is on bringing in owners who can pair local insight with Daisy’s systems and support.
“These new owners represent exactly what Daisy stands for: smart, passionate entrepreneurs paired with the tools and support to build lifetime customer relationships.”
Mayer, who has spent years in technology integration, says Daisy’s mix of structure and flexibility was key for him.
“I’ve never seen a model that combines entrepreneurial freedom with the level of operational sophistication Daisy offers.”
Guerra points to strong market demand in Texas, while Tamasovich is leveraging his cybersecurity background to build a security-forward approach in North Phoenix. Woods says his existing network in Tampa complemented Jasinski’s experience with the Daisy system, giving them a strong foundation for a new branch. Jasinski adds that the pair is targeting significant growth.
“John and I aren’t looking to 2X our business – we’re looking to 10X!”
Dickenson, meanwhile, is actively evaluating acquisition opportunities.
“I am looking for an existing business to buy in attractive markets and would welcome owners in Atlanta, Austin, or Chicago to reach out!”
Daisy says additional entrepreneurs are currently exploring new territories, and the company expects its latest group of franchisees to be operational by the end of next year.
Daisy reports that additional entrepreneurs are evaluating new territories and acquisition opportunities. All recently announced locations are expected to open or convert by the end of 2025.
