DALLAS -

For the second time in less than a month, NuVinAir Global announced the company’s expansion of its franchise program.

On Wednesday, the company that offers a suite of proprietary products that safely and effectively create healthy vehicle interiors welcomed the newest franchisee to its stable and one that covers its Texas headquarters.

Coming aboard to work the Dallas-Fort Worth area is John Patriarca, who has been a franchisee for nearly a decade with European Wax Center, another Plano-based franchisor.

“I’m excited to bolster the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex with the NuVinAir franchise, a company that has been at the forefront of industry-leading innovation for the past several years and further catapulted by the pandemic,” Patriarca said in a news release. “I know firsthand that DFW is incredibly welcoming and supportive of small businesses, so I’m eager to embrace this new opportunity.”

In January, NuVinAir announced the expansion of its franchise program to North Carolina, as Brad Scott came aboard from Avis Budget Group where he represented the company in Raleigh, N.C., for more than two decades.

Last spring, NuVinAir established franchisees in St. Louis and Phoenix.

Now the company is tackling the Lone Star State.

A veteran of franchise ownership, Patriarca became a NuVinAir franchisee in January when he purchased territories in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and founded NuVinAir DFW with his brother, Paul Sanchez, and his father, Richard Patriarca.

John Patriarca owns the exclusive rights to his territories and will implement NuVinAir’s line of science-backed products and healthy vehicle programs across the region.

Patriarca’s team will support a wide range of enterprise opportunities in the transportation space, including rental-car companies, automotive dealerships, car washes, detail shops, RVs, trucking fleets, mobility companies and other automotive businesses.

“Partnering with John further solidifies our home-base market positioning and strengthens our leadership in the DFW region, as well as across the country,” NuVinAir chief executive officer and founder Kyle Bailey said in the news release.

“Today’s younger generation of entrepreneurs doesn’t necessarily want to find success in the same way their parents have, but rather carve their own path, and John’s successful franchisee journey is a testament to that,” Bailey continued.

Prior to the past decade as a franchisee for European Wax Center, for which he owned and operated 15 locations across Florida, Nevada, and Arizona, Patriarca founded Genco Electrical & Solar, an electrical-construction company, where he managed all aspects of the business.

Among NuVinAir’s product offerings is its autonomous cyclone treatment, which can dispel a dry, hygienic vapor throughout the vehicle’s ventilation system to quickly reduce pollutants and contaminants, while reaching places wipes and sprays cannot.

The company’s newest product, ReKlenz-X, is an EPA-approved, eco-friendly disinfectant that can kill 99.9% of germs, bacteria and viruses, without compromising a vehicle’s interior or the safety of those applying it.

As part of its product portfolio, ReNuSurface is an eco-friendly, safe, all-in-one cleaner that can replace multiple products and saves on supply costs.
