“We are thrilled to partner and grow with the Romney and Phenom teams, who both share PestCo’s core value of creating customer loyalty through service excellence,” David LeResche, president and COO of PestCo, said.
“Romney and Phenom have always prioritized our employees and providing quality pest control services to our customers,” Greg Romney, owner of Romney and co-owner of Phenom, said. “Partnering with PestCo and TSCP will drive continued growth and provide more opportunities for our team while continuing to offer top-tier service to our customers.”
“We look forward to partnering with the teams at PestCo and TSCP to continue to offer our quality service and enhance our growth opportunities,” Brandon Jamison, co-owner of Phenom, said.
“Thompson Street is excited to partner with quality businesses offering significant scale and expertise in single family residential pest control through its acquisition of Romney and Phenom, while continuing to expand PestCo’s presence in Texas and Maryland,” Jeff Aiello, managing director at TSCP, said.
