A Little History…

In January 1995, Bridgepoint, a national distributor of carpet care products, opened a branch facility in Nashville. Mr. Kilpatrick created a five-year business plan and took the next five years to acquire the necessary equipment, supplies and certification through Bridgepoint. He also hired his first employee. In June of 1995, Pro-Care served its first customer and by the end of the year 2000, Pro-Care’s client list had grown to more than 800.
Starting in the fourth year of operations, Mr. Kilpatrick began looking for the right person to take over Pro-Care’s leadership. At that time he met John R Browning, III who had recently established his own fledgling carpet care company. Mr. Browning had started Browning Carpet Cleaning Inc., in July of 1997, after growing up working in his father’s carpet care business.
Browning purchased Pro-Care in February 1999, which allowed him to secure the experience of trained technicians as well as an established customer base. In Browning, Kilpatrick believed that he had found a leader who would practice the same high quality and honest business principles he himself had fostered since Pro-Care’s beginning. Kilpatrick served as a consultant to Pro-Care through the year 2000 but was confident at that point he was leaving the company in good hands.
