When it comes to size, the ideal location size is generally between 2000 and 3000 square feet to accommodate the majority of the product offering by the franchise as seen online. Higher traffic locations (like walking traffic) may only need 800-1000 square feet offering our best selling products. Most of the size will depend on your budget and traffic (walking or driving) at or around the specific location. Each franchise product selection will be tailored to their specific region or location.

As far as location is concerned, Jamin Leather® sells predominately leather apparel and may not be conducive for most southern states, excluding maybe high tourist traffic locations (including airports). It is recommended to have a selection and mixture of leather products that can sell year-round. Having a location in an area that is cool or cold most of the year the return on investment will be much greater. Though jackets don’t sell as well in the dead of summer but leather shorts, halters, belts, wallets and many other accessories sell year-round. Plus, if you are near highly populated areas, affluent areas, or in near performing venues, you may be more successful with the leather apparel all year round. Keep in mind, Jamin Leather® brand has exclusive products you won’t find just anywhere.
