HOODZ Comes to Idaho With New Franchise Location Opening

January 06, 2026 // Franchising.com // IDAHO – HOODZ is opening a new franchise location in Boise, Idaho. 

The franchise location will open in early January, and will be owned and operated by Kelly Byington. Kelly has eight years of kitchen management experience in the Boise area, and also has an extensive background in distribution and warehousing. In his free time, Kelly enjoys hiking and fishing.

“When I started looking into potential business opportunities, I knew I wanted to go into business with an honest, service-based business that would allow me to form long-term relationships with local business owners and facility managers in need of our services,” said Kelly Byington, owner of HOODZ of Treasure Valley. “This, combined with their reputation as a reliable service provider dedicated to providing exceptional customer service, made my decision to franchise with HOODZ pretty simple. As my team and I begin offering top-notch kitchen exhaust cleaning and maintenance services throughout Boise, Nampa, Ada, and the surrounding areas, I look forward to growing a respected service and brand that helps reduce the risk of commercial kitchen fires in facilities across North America.”

Nathan Willard, President of HOODZ, is committed to honoring the brand’s focus 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 Kelly 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.”
