New Franchises in Tennessee and New Mexico

By January 28, 2016No Comments

Aire-Master’s franchise system continues to grow, as we are pleased to announce our two newest service locations: Central Tennessee and Northern New Mexico.

Aire-Master of Central Tennessee

Aire-Master now has service in the Nashville, Tennessee, area. Eric Twesme had been friends for many years with Carlos DeLeon (Aire-Master of Dallas). Through Carlos, he learned about Aire-Master and spent time with Phil Canipe (Northern Colorado) and Alejandro Reyes (West Texas). He saw the tremendous opportunity an Aire-Master franchise offered.

Eric researched the fastest growing areas for businesses in the United States and settled on Nashville. He and his family moved to Tennessee and launched Aire-Master of Central Tennessee, which includes Davidson and Williamson counties.

Aire-Master of Northern New Mexico


John Beck first came in contact with Aire-Master as a customer. He owns a restaurant in Fort Collins, Colorado, which is serviced by Phil Canipe, our franchisee in Northern Colorado. John was impressed first by Aire-Master service, then by the business model. Phil’s dad, Terry Canipe, is also a longtime Aire-Master franchisee (Front Range). John, Phil, and Terry decided to start Aire-Master of Northern New Mexico together.

The new franchise comprises Colfax, Mora, San Miguel, and Santa Fe counties in New Mexico. The Canipes have done extremely well in their respective franchises, and we expect their new partnership with John to be successful as well.
