Concept Description

This is a business of custom framing.  Custom framing is an old world craft. It is one of the few products produced today that is still truly custom.   The operating system is unique in the framing industry and has taken this old world craft and added modern technology, which allows us to produce products in a fraction of the time that it takes our competitors.

Franchisees are independent owners, but we think of them as partners, and wed like to think our Franchisees see each other as partners too. We support them with training programs, vendor relations, equipment, and assistance in remodeling, relocation and expanding. We also support their local and regional advertising with between 10- and 20-million advertising impressions a year. With our extensive experience in the unique challenges of franchise operations, when they face tough questions, they know they can call us for expert advice. I like to think of it as being in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

Owner Profile

Franchise owners have diverse backgrounds. No experience necessary.  They are looking for nice people who enjoy providing good customer service and enjoy building relationships.  Most peoples number one concern when starting their own business is What kind of experience do I need? Actually, no experience is necessary to run this business. In fact 95% plus of the Franchisees had no previous experience in the Art and Framing Industry.
