YOUR NEW LOCATION
Selecting and Build-out
Finding the right location is imperative to your success as a Jamin Leather® franchise. The USA us a big place and knowing all you need to know about any proposed location requires the assistance of professionals in your area. Our experienced team have built-out and operated multiple locations over the past 4 decades and has a good understanding of what (or where) it takes to have all the successful ingredients and make it work above and beyond the business model. We insist on the best attempt for success and we will be asking all the right questions to help research the right location.
Free standing, mall, plaza, kiosk, boardwalk, resort… so many options. Maybe, build it from the ground up? Setup in a shopping plaza? Get a key location inside a busy mall? Retro-fit a former operation? Open a location in a high traffic tourist town? Build out a store in a walking village? Optimize a location at an airport?. All these are great options if all the factors and minimum requirements are in line.
So let’s say you found the perfect place and you are ready to build out that location. We are here to help with the details needed. If we are talking about a freestanding location, more often than not, to make in instant impact on your community you need a buildout that is not familiar with the current landscape. In other words, the building has to change and not just with a can of paint.
We will assist you to create a theme, build up the store front, add a façade, add landscaping, use textures, antiques, props, statues or whatever help make that property pop! Build it and they will come, they say. Do nothing and expect nothing. We will show and help you how you can create a magical environment you, your staff and your customers will love!
