Authority Brands Brings 390 Jobs to Metro Atlanta

One of America's largest home services franchisors just made Georgia its permanent home, and the news means nearly 400 new career opportunities for metro Atlanta residents.

Authority Brands announced Tuesday it's relocating its corporate headquarters to a 48,000-square-foot Franchisee Success Center in Cobb County. The company, which operates familiar names like Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, Mister Sparky, and The Cleaning Authority, plans to invest $13 million in the new facility at 200 Galleria Parkway.

The corporate relocation will create 390 new jobs over the next several years. Positions will focus heavily on operations, finance, information technology, and marketing roles that support the company's network of over 1,000 franchise owners across more than 2,700 territories.

The growth story is remarkable. Authority Brands started with just six employees in Georgia and has already expanded to more than 300 team members statewide. This new chapter adds another 390 positions to that roster.

Governor Brian Kemp credited Georgia's business-friendly environment for attracting the headquarters. The move represents exactly the kind of corporate expansion state officials hope to see: substantial investment, quality jobs, and long-term commitment to the community.

The Ripple Effect

These aren't just 390 isolated job opportunities. When a corporate headquarters plants roots in a community, the benefits multiply outward like rings in water.

New employees need places to eat lunch, shop, and grab coffee. They join local gyms, enroll kids in schools, and become active community members. The $13 million investment improves the local tax base, supporting schools and infrastructure improvements that benefit everyone.

Authority Brands also supports the franchise owners and their employees across those 2,700 territories nationwide. Better corporate support from the new Franchisee Success Center means stronger small businesses in communities everywhere, from plumbing services to cleaning companies that families depend on.

For job seekers in metro Atlanta, this represents a rare opportunity to join a growing company at an exciting expansion moment. The variety of positions means opportunities for professionals at different career stages, from recent graduates to experienced executives.

Nearly 400 families will soon have new reasons to celebrate around their dinner tables.
