Local Entrepreneur Brings Koala Insulation to Central Charlotte

• April 5, 2023

CHARLOTTE, NC– Local entrepreneur Ric Ritter has plans to change how Charlotte goes about home improvement with his new business venture.

Ritter has announced the opening of Koala Insulation in the Charlotte Central market. Set to open in November, Koala Insulation of Charlotte Central will provide property owners with the full-range of insulation options including spray foam, blown-in and blanket (batt) insulation in surrounding neighborhoods like Myers Park, SouthPark, Ballantyne, NoDa and Plaza Midwood. With Ritter’s location, along with two forthcoming locations in Charlotte, Koala Insulation now covers the entire Charlotte area.

With more individuals working from home than ever before, the opening of the new Koala Insulation will provide the Charlotte Central community with the opportunity to make a difference in their carbon footprint, improve their home’s air quality and save on monthly energy bills.

“Effective insulation is one of the only home improvement processes out there that actually saves people money through reduced energy costs—and it makes homes more comfortable, too,” said Ritter. “Koala Insulation prides itself on how we educate clients so they can confidently make decisions on an otherwise opaque home improvement process.”

Ritter brings over 25 year of experience in financial services, product development and marketing, having lead marketing initiatives for Fortune 500 financial services companies. Koala Insulation was a natural fit for Ritter who was intrigued by the marketing infrastructure and digital support from the corporate headquarters.

Koala Insulation has differentiated its business model with a system that delivers efficiency and comfort to its clients. The brand’s commitment to white-glove service is executed through promptness, trusted expertise and cleanliness. Koala Insulation’s distinctions have driven its growth across the United States.

“Earlier this year, we launched an aggressive growth strategy to disrupt the fragmented insulation industry and it’s great to see our plan happening so quickly with talented professionals,” said Scott Marr, founder and CEO of Koala Insulation. “Ric is the kind of talented franchisee we were looking to expand with coast-to-coast. His proven business experience and strong background in marketing will help us further establish the Koala Insulation brand in Charlotte.”

Insulated from today’s market shifts, Koala Insulation’s franchise opportunity requires low-overhead while offering quick ramp-up time. As a mobile concept with no leases required, entrepreneurs are offered a low-barrier opportunity to break into business-ownership in the fast-growing, $52-billion recession-resistant insulation industry. The brand is equipped with a thorough franchise support structure, complete with training, operations, marketing, lead generation and technology systems for its franchisees.

Koala Insulation is seeking experienced professionals to grow its brand through franchising. The Koala Insulation business model has been built to attract individuals or teams with experience in sales, marketing and managing high-performing teams.

With franchisees currently operating in Houston, Atlanta, Daytona Beach and Panama City, Fla., Koala Insulation plans to add 200 franchise licenses in the next 12 months. Ritter’s location will be the fast-growing brand’s third location in North Carolina.
