Growing a Franchise
Over the past 30 years, the mobile leather and upholstery repair and restoration concept has developed a flexible business model that offers extensive support and training for franchisees.
Creative Colors International is a mobile leather and upholstery repair and restoration franchise. The brand restores leather, fabric, vinyl, plastic and fiberglass for a wide range of residential and commercial clients.
Creative Colors International was officially established in 1991 through its affiliate, J&J’s Creative Colors, which has been servicing the furniture, retail, automotive, insurance, medical, restaurant, RV and warranty industries since 1980. Currently, there are over 70 Creative Colors International locations.
The core of Creative Colors International’s business model is providing mobile repair and restoration services to a large clientele base. Owners operate their franchises from their mobile units (i.e. vans) and service a specified customer route that includes car dealers, furniture stores, RV dealers, body shops, hotels and restaurants.
As a mobile business, franchisees are able to benefit from a flexible business model that enables them to set their own schedules, earn immediate income and enjoy an unlimited potential for growth. Additionally, franchise owners are not required to have prior industry experience. Creative Colors International states that its franchise network is made up of individuals from all sorts of education levels and backgrounds.
All new owners participate in an intensive, three-week hands-on training program at the corporate headquarters. This training covers technical, operations, sales and managerial skills, as well as the administrative end of running the business.
