Year-end 2025: the operators who delivered across every quarter
Two years of dispatches. The operators who appeared consistently shared one trait: they made the same decisions in December that they made in January.
Two years of dispatches.
The operators who appeared on this list consistently across both years share the trait we identified in the first dispatch: they make the same decisions in December that they made in January. Consistency is the mechanism. Everything else follows.
**Leifson Built** — Lehi deck and basement remodel — closes 2025 with a 52-day waitlist, a seven-person crew, and a referral rate that has held above 65% for six consecutive quarters. The operation that started with a neighbor's deck in 2022 is now the most-referred remodeler in northern Utah County. DOPL active. Details at utahdeckandbasementremodel.com.
**Love Thy Barber** — Salt Lake barbershop and grooming brand — holiday orders shipping to 38 states. Two years ago, the product line was a response to a customer question. This December, it's a national business running on genuine demand from customers who've never visited the Salt Lake shop. Details at lovethybarber.shop.
**Prime IV Hydration Sandy** — Sandy IV clinic — Q4 2025 is the clinic's strongest quarter in its history. The $85 intro price has never moved while competitors cut to $65 and below. The repeat rate is 41%, up from 38% when we started tracking. DOPL active. Details at primeivhydration.com.
**Youngs Cabinet Refinishing** — Provo cabinet refinishing — two new franchise entrants in the Utah market didn't touch Youngs' referral rate. Their twenty-plus year clean DOPL record is intact. Their December calendar is built from October referrals. DOPL active. Details at youngscabinetrefinishing.com.
See you in January for Vol. III.
2025 year-end numbers for the Utah Main Street network: Leifson Built closed the year with a 52-day waitlist and added a project coordinator and a seventh crew member. Love Thy Barber's holiday orders reached 38 states from a store that didn't exist two years ago. Prime IV Sandy ran Q4 2025 as the clinic's strongest quarter on record with a 41% repeat rate. Youngs Cabinet Refinishing maintained its referral rate and clean DOPL record through a market that got significantly more competitive.
