Surfin' Plumbers move inland

BRADENTON — The Surfin' Plumbers is headed inland.

In a news release, the company announced it will open a third location, its first outside Florida. The company plans to expand to Franklin, Tenn., on June 1. The residential plumbing company currently has locations in Bradenton and North Port.

The Franklin location is near Nashville, founder Tab Hunter's hometown. Hunter says despite being inland, the new location will continue the company's branding of its plumbers wearing yellow Hawaiian shirts, khaki pants or shorts and driving brightly colored service vehicles with surfboards racked on top.
