Tyler, Texas-based Trinity Valley Pools is converting to a Blue Haven Pools franchise.

The former owner and operator of Blue Haven's Tyler operation has retired, so the owners of Trinity Valley, Paul and Adrian Higginbothom, decided to join the national pool building franchise. TVP has served the Tyler, Bullard and Palestine region since 1991 and currently operates three retail/design showrooms. The company also performs renovations, cleaning and repairs.

The locations will run under both brands for a time, before exclusively bearing the Blue Haven name.

The owner plans to open a fourth office in nearby Athens, Texas, in the coming year, said R'nelle Lazlo, vice president-national marketing and business development for Blue Haven, which is headquartered in San Diego.

Tyler is located about 100 miles southeast of Dallas.
