Daisy has hit another growth milestone with the signing of two new franchise locations in Wayzata, Minn., and Nashville, Tenn. Daisy Miami Beach, which opened in January 2026, also joins Wayzata and Nashville as the network expands across three new markets.
These additions bring Daisy to more than 45 total locations nationwide, including 8 new franchise territories signed during the first half of 2026. The continued expansion, according to Daisy, reflects a growing demand for professional smart home technology services alongside the company’s differentiated approach.
A Closer Look at Daisy’s New Franchise Locations
Daisy Miami Beach is led by founder and operator Frank Castellano, who designs and integrates technology across residential, commercial and government spaces. Prior to his work as an integrator, Castellano worked in cybersecurity at Amazon Web Services and at the National Security Agency. The branch offers a client showroom in the Miami Design District.
The new Wayzata location will be led by Tracy Purdy, an accomplished executive in education technology and learning and development. Throughout her career, Purdy has partnered with entrepreneurs and leadership teams to help companies scale through organizational development, leadership training, and talent strategy.
Daisy’s Nashville expansion includes three franchise territories led by Joe Thomas. Thomas is a seasoned sales executive with a long track record of developing customer relationships and driving business growth.
Franchise Owners Bring Varied Experiences to CI Landscape
“Our franchise owners continue to impress us with the incredible experience they bring from industries where service, technology, and trust are paramount,” said Hagan Kappler, co-founder and CEO of Daisy.
“Frank, Tracy, and Joe each have unique backgrounds, but they share the same entrepreneurial mindset and commitment to delivering exceptional experiences for homeowners.
Why Integrators Should Take Note
Since launching in early 2024, Daisy has rapidly expanded through a combination of acquisitions and franchising, building one of the industry’s largest and fastest-growing national networks of smart home technology professionals.
The expansion comes as Daisy continues the nationwide rollout of DaisyCare, the company’s proactive smart home service support program, which provides homeowners with ongoing maintenance, remote support, priority service, system optimization and technology guidance after the initial installation is complete.
The three new franchise teams also recently participated in Daisy’s signature New Owner Training program at the company’s Newport Beach headquarters. The program is designed to prepare new owners to launch quickly while delivering a consistent service experience and features training around business operations, sales, marketing, installation best practices and hands-on product education with support from many of the industry’s leading manufacturers.
