We’re excited to announce the opening of our newest office in the Dallas area, marking an important milestone in Propelr’s continued growth. This expansion establishes our second office and strengthens our presence across the country.
The new space will serve as a hub for our inside sales, relationship management, and technical support teams, enabling us to better serve our partners and merchants from coast to coast. By building out our Dallas operations, Propelr is better positioned to continue offering West Coast support hours, expanding our ability to offer our clients the high-touch support they need, whenever they need it.
“From the moment we arrived, Dallas stood out — not just for its dynamic business climate, but for its culture of genuine hospitality and ambition. It’s a city that welcomes innovation, supports growth, and shares the same entrepreneurial spirit that drives Propelr forward. For a company in growth mode, there’s no better place to build our second office, than right here in Texas.”
— Michael Mertz, Co-Founder, Propelr
Having a second office is more than just a sign of growth. It reflects the incredible momentum Propelr has built with our partners, clients, and team members. This new location allows us to recruit top talent, collaborate more closely with our expanding network, and continue delivering the exceptional service Propelr is known for.
We couldn’t be more proud of the dedicated team launching this new chapter in Dallas.
