We are thrilled to announce that John Villon and Nilo Quiroz, our dedicated owners, have been named 2023 Franchisee of the Year Award winners by the International Franchising Association (IFA)! This accolade celebrates their exceptional performance and their profound positive influence on our community.
The Franchisee of the Year Award, presented by the IFA annually, is a prestigious honor reserved for top-tier franchise owners. Recipients are carefully chosen for their active engagement within their communities, entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to a vibrant culture within their workplace, and willingness to assist their fellow franchisees when called upon.
The Franchisee of the Year Duo: An Unlikely History
IFA President and CEO Matthew Haller said of the award, “Franchisees of the Year exemplify what franchising is all about – providing opportunity, serving others, and fulfilling the American Dream.” The American Dream rings true for John and Nilo, the proud owners of our location in Central Southwest Houston and sister locations in Sugar Land South, The Woodlands, and Pearland (coming soon).
John, a native of Peru, and Nilo, hailing from Mexico, parlayed their oil and gas industry expertise to embark on an entrepreneurial journey with PuroClean. Throughout their franchise trajectory, they pursued excellence without sacrificing their commitment to family and devotion to service.
2021 was a banner year when the duo received PuroClean’s Rookie of the Year Award, an honor given to franchisees in their first year of operation. Last year, they were the recipients of the President’s Circle (a shared honor for the second consecutive year), Rainmaker (won by John), and Brand Ambassador (awarded to John).
As the awards continued to pile up, their presence flourished, with three new offices in the Houston area. With newfound determination, they set the wheels in motion for further growth with one goal in mind: to provide outstanding restoration to residential and commercial property owners.
John and Nilo embody what it means to prioritize customer service and incorporate excellence in everything. Their tenacity is displayed in their work, with their locations receiving top-rated recognition in the city. They’re poised to soar to even greater heights thanks to their entrepreneurial mindset.



John and Nilo received the award with a smile on their faces, ecstatic at how far they’ve come!
Steve White, President and COO of PuroClean, expressed his pride in John and Nilo’s incredible achievement: “Their dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence reflect not only their own success but also the strength of our franchise system as a whole.”
As unofficial ambassadors for the PuroClean community, John and Nilo are beyond humbled to receive this honor. We are truly grateful and inspired by their story, proving that the American Dream can be a reality if you never stop dreaming.
