IMAGE Studios has been growing quickly since it was founded. The brand now has 141 locations in 31 states and expects another 40-plus openings for 2026. This steady growth has made the brand appealing to franchisees who want a business that is both stable and able to expand in a strong industry.

The company was started by Jason Olsen in 2009 during the recession. After opening five locations in five years, he filed the first Franchise Disclosure Document in 2016. Since then, he has worked on building a model that is simple to run and can scale easily. Franchisees can choose to operate one location or expand into multiple units over time.
