How The Glass Guru Makes the Transition to Becoming a Franchisee Seamless and Rewarding

Many entrepreneurs in the glass and window industry have a hard time taking their businesses to the next level and often times get bogged down with the day-to-day tasks that it takes to be successful, ultimately making it increasingly difficult for them to grow their businesses.

However, that doesn’t have to be the case. With more than 85 locations across the U.S., The Glass Guru franchise helps those entrepreneurs convert their businesses into one of its franchise location, allowing them to tap into the brand’s competitive advantages. Those perks include an ongoing support system, enhanced technical knowledge, strong marketing and business strategies and operations and customer service expertise. By being a part of The Glass Guru’s system and having those resources at their disposal, franchisees are able to better position themselves for success in the long run.

Chris Schwartz, a Glass Guru franchise owner in West Denver, converted his once independent small business into one of the franchise’s locations in 2013 and hasn’t turned back since. Schwartz grew up with his father owning a successful paint and glass store, and knew he wanted to be involved in the industry. That’s why — alongside his brother — he bought out his dad’s business when he retired. But when they realized that they were going to have a hard time sustaining the business, they decided to look into franchising.

“When the Denver North territory opened up, I took a good look at The Glass Guru. They had a good franchise network of support, many benefits and turnkey entry,” said Schwartz.

Schwartz credits much of his entrepreneurial success to The Glass Guru, as well as his knowledge and previous experience in the glass industry. Now, his location has been successfully operating for the past five years.

Dale Anderson is another industry veteran turned franchisee who’s experienced success with the help of The Glass Guru. He previously worked as a contractor before becoming one of the brand’s local owners.

“As a contractor in the window and door industry, I knew that I could own a small business but I didn’t know much about marketing or small business organization. I chose The Glass Guru because I felt confident that they knew what they were doing. They answered all my questions and were with me every step of the way, every single time I needed them. Dave [Hull, CDO] and the executive management team made me feel comfortable so that I knew it would be a good investment,” said Anderson.

 Schwartz and Anderson are far from the only independent workers turned franchisees to experience success in the glass repair and replacement industry alongside The Glass Guru. That’s why the brand is constantly looking to work with experts in the space as it continues to franchise — the combination has been proven to lead to strong, positive results.

The Glass Guru is a rapidly growing franchise with opportunities for growth in markets across the country. The brand’s business ownership system offers franchisees the unique chance to get in on the ground level of a concept that’s at the forefront of an increasingly in-demand and recession resistant industry. Initial start-up costs range from $72,750 to $179,500.
