With a proud history over the past 70 years, Clark Rubber is an iconic Australian retailer. Having an award-winning national franchise network of 65 stores throughout Australia, there are many reasons to join this Australian retail icon.

Great products – strong marketing

Clark Rubber franchisees enjoy the combined stock buying power that only comes from being part of a large national network. Our dedicated merchandise team works closely with suppliers to build product ranges across pools, foam and rubber.

Marketing and advertising are key to the ongoing success of any retail business. Each year we invest in brand development and national advertising campaigns, across multiple channels.

An ongoing commitment

Clark Rubber franchisees benefit from a proven system, providing the knowledge and skills required plus tangible business tools and support needed to run their business.

Whether you’re taking over an existing store or starting up new, we provide support in site selection, lease negotiation, store development and in-store merchandising.

There is also a comprehensive training program covering product knowledge, customer service, retail operation and compliance. Training is delivered through individual, group and online programs.

The IT infrastructure required to manage every aspect of your business including stock control, POS, financial reporting and benchmarking is also provided. Our IT helpdesk is on hand to assist you with any system related issues.

National strength, local support

In addition to the national support team, all stores are supported by a dedicated Regional Sales Manager. Their role is to spend time with you, in your store, working with you to achieve your goals and provide feedback and support on all aspects of store performance.

Clark Rubber franchise models

There are three individual models that make up Clark Rubber, designed to provide flexibility across markets, whilst capitalising on the strong brand reputation gained over the past 70 years.

  • Clark Rubber stores
  • With a unique product mix of pools, foam and rubber, these stores provide strong customer appeal and income potential across all seasons. In addition to an extensive range of products, Clark Rubber is Australia’s largest retail supplier of cut foam. Clark Rubber stores also include their own mobile pool service van.
  • Clark Rubber pool and spa shops
  • Leveraging the Clark Rubber brand and reputation in pools, the Clark Rubber Pools and Spa franchise model has been developed to allow for a complete focus on pools and spas sales and service. All our Pool & Spa franchises operate a pool service van to provide complete customer service.
  • Clark Rubber pool care service territories
  • Included as part of the Clark Rubber franchise group is the opportunity to own your own mobile pool service territory. This flexible, low-entry business model is a great way to run your own business, whilst still benefiting from a national brand and franchise network.

With various opportunities available, you can choose a Clark Rubber model that suits where you want to go.
