Eric Taylor and Craig Martin named to new executive roles.
Tint World, the auto detailing and window tinting franchise, reports that it is building on the success it achieved in 2025 while identifying its growth pipeline markets.
In the first quarter of 2026, the franchise said it is continuing to expand its national footprint through new real estate and development in key markets. Tint World announced that it has signed three new licenses in Portland, Oregon and Indiana and expects to double that number in the next few months.
Last year, the brand signed 39 new franchise agreements and reached system-wide store revenue of more than $100 million.
“Throughout the year, our focus will remain on building a franchise system that empowers entrepreneurs while delivering exceptional customer experiences,” said Charles Bonfiglio, founder and CEO of Tint World. “The momentum we’ve seen in Q1 reinforces the strength of our model and the demand for our services across the country.”
To help support growth, Tint World also announced a pair of executive moves for the first quarter. Eric Taylor was named chief development officer while Craig Martin was appointed as vice president of finance.
According to Tint World, Taylor is focusing on the company’s real estate strategy and franchise accelerating development with Martin leading financial systems and reporting initiatives.
Tint World has expanded customer financing options in a move designed to meet growing consumer demand for flexible payment solutions. In-store financing programs and online “buy now, pay later” options are being offered by the brand so more customers can move forward with customizing their vehicles. Tint World said the move is allowing more franchisees to convert leads while enhancing convenience and affordability.
The franchise noted that its first quarter performance was supported by investments in technology, such as its online booking platform and improvements to operational efficiency for franchisees.
Looking ahead, Tint World said it has identified key growth markets for the year, including Los Angeles, San Diego, northern California, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and Atlanta.
“We remain focused on executing our growth strategy with discipline and purpose,” said Bonfiglio. “Everything we do – from development to technology to training – is designed to support our franchisees and drive long-term success across the system.”
Tint World has more than 150 locations open and another 200-plus in development. The franchise says its goal is to have more than 600 locations. The company also has locations in Canada, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates.
