SUNRISE, Fla. (June 1, 2017) – The Franchise Whales—a franchise incubator that helps new, emerging and existing franchises strengthen various areas of their businesses—has partnered with The Original Frameless Shower Doors®, an independent business based in Florida that is interested in expanding its footprint through franchising.
Through this partnership, company executives will provide The Original Frameless Shower Doors® consulting services including creation of the franchise model, franchise disclosure document (FDD), operations manual, training manual, public relations strategy and sales & marketing campaigns. The Franchise Whales will also be the exclusive franchise development arm for the company.
“The Original Frameless Shower Doors® business model can easily be replicated and with tremendous success in markets all over the nation, and globally,” The Franchise Whales’ President Scott Mortier said. “We look forward to helping their team get all the right materials and systems in place to effectively bring their franchise opportunity to market. It’s going to be an exciting ride and we’re honored to be part of it.”
The Original Frameless Shower Doors® is the nation’s only true buy direct frameless shower door company. For more than 20 years the company has designed, fabricated and installed tens of thousands of custom all-glass frameless shower enclosures for clients all over the world. The company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is equipped with the latest glass fabrication machinery as well as its own tempering furnace and exclusive, branded hardware line. The StayCLEAN® glass is water and stain resistant and 20 percent more brilliant looking than typical glass; all designed to provide customers a one-of-a-kind, SGCC certified, custom frameless shower door that fits perfectly to the finished opening. By perfecting the fine art of customizing frameless glass shower doors, the fully licensed, insured and certified manufacturer and installation company has grown year after year, recently earning them consecutive Inc. 5000’s prestigious status.
“Franchising is the logical next step, but something that is outside our current scope. We know this will dramatically expand our national base and drive us straight to the top,” John Serino, founder and CEO of The Original Frameless Shower Doors® said. “Retaining The Franchise Whales was critical in helping us develop our franchise side of our business. Their leadership team seems to have the expertise we need to properly execute a franchise model. We’re confident their direction can get us to this next level and look forward to working with their team.”
Unlike a typical franchise development or brokerage company, The Franchise Whales often invests in its clients’ brands and are therefore 100 percent devoted to the franchise’s long-term success. Beyond leading franchise development efforts, the company provides support services such as strategic planning, marketing, management, legal services, architecture services, operations training, public relations and human resources. The company currently works with Miami Grill, Gyroville, Froots and Tikiz Shaved Ice & Ice Cream, among other concepts.
