HOODZ Comes to Indiana With New Franchise Location Opening

April 15, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // INDIANA — HOODZ is opening a new franchise location in Cannelton, Indiana.

The franchise location opened on April 13th, and is owned and operated by Randal Haas. Randal was an IT professional for 24 years, and sees owning his own company as an opportunity to build and create his own success and future. Randal will be assisted in daily operations by his wife, Karleen, who will oversee the administrative side of the business. In his free time, Randal is an active member of his church and enjoys riding trails on his four-wheeler.

“When I first started looking into franchise opportunities, I knew I wanted to choose a business that provides essential services that many local businesses rely on,” said Randal Haas, owner of HOODZ of Evansville and Northwest Kentucky. “This, combined with the great potential for residual income and repeat business, made my decision to franchise with HOODZ pretty simple.”

Nathan Willard, President of HOODZ, stated that the company focuses on keeping customers’ kitchen exhaust systems fully compliant with local regulations and fire safety codes: “HOODZ is seeing an increase in demand for overall commercial cooking throughout the U.S., driven by the rise of eating out and food delivery platforms. With that comes a great deal of grease vapors released into the kitchen exhaust system. With our state-of-the-art training and continued focus on quality, HOODZ has positioned itself as a leader and trusted name in the industry. As Randal and his team begin providing professional and reliable service across their community, the HOODZ team looks forward to hearing about all the great work they will accomplish.”

HOODZ originated from a small kitchen exhaust cleaning business in Northern Michigan and has been operating since 1972. The brand focuses on commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning as well as pizza ovens, kitchen filters and pressure washing. Its team handles projects of various sizes to ensure compliance with fire safety codes and NFPA 96 standards.
