ZenaTech Plans Drone-Powered Power Washing Franchise

ZenaTech, the Nasdaq listed drone and AI company, is building a franchise business model around drone powered exterior cleaning. The plan rests on its June acquisition of Green Earth Powerwashing, a Florida franchise system the company bought specifically for its operator network and royalty structure.

Why Buy a Franchise to Sell Drones

Drone hardware alone does not solve a go to market problem. By acquiring Green Earth, ZenaTech inherited trained operators, existing customer contracts, and a functioning royalty system instead of building franchise infrastructure from scratch. That shortcut lets the company test automated cleaning on real commercial accounts before it tries to sell the concept to new franchisees.

What Changes for Operators

The plan swaps ladders and scaffolding for a ground controlled drone fitted with a pressurized water system, aimed first at high rise facades and hard to reach roofs. ZenaTech frames the upside as safety and speed, fewer fall risks and faster turnaround on jobs that currently require lift equipment. None of this is commercially deployed yet. The drone attachment is still in testing, and the franchise offering itself is at the planning stage.

The Bigger Bet

ZenaTech has made two dozen acquisitions to build its Drone as a Service platform, and Green Earth is its eighth deal in Florida alone. If the power washing franchise model works, it becomes a template: buy an existing franchise system, layer automation onto its service line, then scale nationally using the franchise structure already in place. For operators watching automation creep into home services, this is a preview of how a tech company enters a legacy category without starting a franchise brand from zero.
