Profile

Leslie's, Inc.LESLConsumer Discretionary

Sells recurring pool-and-spa care products, equipment, and services through specialty stores and digital channels, pairing proprietary merchandise with water testing and technical help. A vertically integrated network is concentrated in warm-weather states and depends on seasonal demand, inventory, skilled service, and digital systems.

Supplies the aftermarket care of residential and commercial pools and spas through chemicals, equipment and replacement parts, cleaning and maintenance products, and installation and repair services. Products reach do-it-yourself owners, pool professionals, and commercial operators through stores, e-commerce, the mobile app, and marketplaces.

Combines proprietary and custom-formulated merchandise with AccuBlue water analysis, in-store repair support, Pool Perks, and field technicians. Its network is concentrated in warm-weather states—particularly California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida—while digital channels extend reach nationwide.

Service quality relies on trained staff, accurate testing, timely inventory, and working digital systems. Demand and operations remain tied to pool-season weather, Sunbelt conditions, supply availability, competition, cybersecurity and privacy obligations, and water-use and chemical regulation.
