Authority Brands bringing 390 jobs, new headquarters to Cobb County

A leading home-service brand is bringing its new headquarters to Cobb County and with it nearly 400 new jobs.

Authority Brands plans to establish a Franchisee Success Center in Cobb County, which will create 390 new jobs and invest around $13 million in the next several years.

“We’re proud that Authority Brands has chosen to relocate to the No. 1 state for business, where our pro-jobs approach and strong workforce help companies succeed,” said Gov. Brian Kemp in a news release. “They join a growing list of companies that choose the Peach State to start and grow their businesses, and we look forward to the success they’ll find here.” 

Authority Brands has 15 brands that operate in more than 2,700 territories and has more than 1,000 franchise owners. Residential services that the company’s brands provide include electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and lawn care as well as other services.

The new facility will be a 48,000-square-foot building at 200 Galleria Parkway in Cobb County. People who are interested in applying for a job can visit www.authoritybrands.com to learn more. Roles include operations, IT, finance and marketing.

“Georgia is where Authority Brands’ next chapter begins,” said Jay Caiafa, CEO of Authority Brands, in the news release. “Metro Atlanta gives us access to exceptional talent, a business environment built for growth, and a community that understands what it means to build something. More than geography, this is a statement about how seriously we take our obligation to the franchise owners who’ve bet on our brands. We’re building an organization that can scale intelligently, invest in the right capabilities, and deliver the kind of support our franchisees deserve. Metro Atlanta is the perfect foundation for that.”
