Chicago Business Leader Receives Rainmaker Award at Annual PuroClean Convention

CHICAGO, IL — Local entrepreneur Tim Lohse, Owner of PuroClean Property Restoration of Chicago, recently received a PuroClean Rainmaker Award at the annual PuroClean International Convention. Of nearly 500 franchise locations across North America, Lohse was nominated for the accolade by PuroClean’s network of Franchise Owners as someone who has gone above and beyond to achieve success within the network while dedicating himself to the success of others and his community.

“Winning the Rainmaker award was an exhilarating and uplifting experience! It truly highlights the power of community and collaboration in our industry,” said Lohse. “I am thrilled and deeply grateful to be recognized for helping others succeed. This accolade fills me with enthusiasm and motivates me to keep supporting and uplifting my fellow franchisees with even greater passion and dedication.”

Lohse is the co-owner of PuroClean, overseeing operations across ten cities in Illinois, Wisconsin, Texas, and Michigan. Under his leadership, the company has secured top positions on the INC. 5000 List year after year, marking significant expansion. Lohse and his business partner, Keegan Trudgen, were pioneers in PuroClean’s multi-unit ownership program, having presented a program the brand still follows today. Together, they have grown their franchise locations from remediating residential properties to taking on huge commercial large loss property disasters, some of the largest in the system.

Originally from Minnesota, Lohse graduated from Staples Technical College in Robotics and Automated Systems. For over 20 years, he developed the technical service department for a global equipment manufacturer, installing, training, and coordinating emergency repairs for companies like Kraft, Kellogg, and Pepsi. Certified in ISO 9000 with experience in customer service, for Lohse, the urgency to restore properties is key to success.

A perennial President’s Circle winner since 2015, Lohse has received multiple accolades throughout the years. Recent accolades, including the Multi-Unit Franchisee Magazine’s MVP Spirit of Franchising Award, highlight Lohse’s dedication to innovation and outstanding service in the disaster services industry, ensuring PuroClean franchises remain leaders in property restoration and remediation services.

“Tim’s establishment of a robust team has made him a strong force within the PuroClean community,” said Steve White, President and COO of PuroClean. “Tim consistently makes himself available to provide his expertise and exchange industry contacts with his peers. His generous spirit embodies the perfect candidate for a PuroClean Franchise Owner. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition.”
