What does it cost to open a Locally Handmade franchise?
Startup costs vary based on location and store size, but our model is designed to be affordable and accessible. Most franchisees can launch their store for significantly less than a traditional retail business, with flexible options to fit your goals and budget.
Do I need retail or business experience to become a franchise owner?
Not at all! Our team provides comprehensive training in operations, marketing, and vendor management — everything you need to confidently open and run your store. Passion for community and handmade products matters more than prior experience.
What kind of support do franchise owners receive?
From site selection and store setup to grand opening promotions and ongoing marketing guidance, we’re with you every step of the way. You’ll have direct access to our leadership team, brand assets, vendor network, and ongoing growth strategies.
How long does it take to open my store?
Once your franchise agreement is approved, most stores are ready to open within 3–6 months depending on build-out and vendor setup timelines. We’ll guide you through every phase so you can open smoothly and start making an impact fast.
