A National Window Coverings Franchise That Does It All

Key Points: No inventory, no brick and mortar, very few employees (if any) required, all in-home mobile service, in-house call center, founder-led organization, can support owner/operator or semi-absentee business models, Item 19 reports multi-van owners adjuested earnings over $200K (17%) and 1 van owners at over $87K adjusted earnings (24%).

99.9% of all window covering retailers only offer sales of new product.  Bloomin’ Blinds is the only company that is trained, prepared, and excited about the ongoing maintenance of these products after the installation (as well as selling new ones), even if we didn’t install them.  Bloomin’ Blinds is the only national retailer that offers sales, installation, AND repair. 

Bloomin’ Blinds was founded the morning of 9/11/2001…literally, the corporation paperwork was filed the day the towers were hit.  In the wake of the financial recession that followed, Bloomin’ Blinds was able to make a name for itself as consumers shifted into a “maintenance” vs “buying new” perspective.  As “sales only” companies were struggling to find perspective buyers, Bloomin’ Blinds was thriving and building a customer base with its repair AND sales model.  After nearly two decades of building the family business and becoming one of the largest retailers in the Dallas metro area, the franchise corporation was formed in 2014 and the first franchise location was opened in March 2015.  Bloomin’ Blinds is currently led by the same family members (the brothers) that built the original model, adding decades of experience and passion to the support of our franchise owners.  We are “blind guys” that started a franchise, we are not franchise guys that got a job at a window covering franchise.  Our passion is teaching, mentoring, and walking with our owners as they grow.  With six years of franchising experience, we have built a “recipe” for every aspect of this business, providing support for franchise owners in every possible way.

Bloomin’ Blinds is a zero-inventory, high margin, home-based, truly mobile service that does not require a lot of employees to be successful.  Bloomin’ Blinds is breathing new life into an “old and tired” industry that has lacked true differentiation for decades.  “If your blinds aren’t becoming to you, they should be coming to us!!!” 

Why Bloomin’ Blinds

• Window coverings are essential to every building: we all forget about blinds, and they don’t lead most Pinterest searches but if you don’t have them, the 4th of July picnic is going to be a little awkward.  Every building, residential or commercial is a potential opportunity for Bloomin’ Blinds. 
• Retailers do not offer repairs: the value of repairs cannot be overstated.  Offering repairs in an industry that DOES NOT offer them creates so many opportunities for Bloomin’ Blinds franchise owners.  Offering repairs and sales adds to a customer’s value perception, aids in efficient and economical marketing, builds the customer base faster, and repairs are virtually 100% profit. 
• Technology: iPads, laser measuring device that Bluetooth the measurements, visualizers to digitally apply our products to a customer’s wall, technician arrival tracking like Uber and Dominos, quoting software, automated ordering, AI driven digital marketing, dashboards galore, and 40% conversion rates when requesting reviews by text just to name a few.  The window covering industry has been run the same way for 40 years…note pad and pencil behind the ear.  We have improved the process and added Best in Class technology in every available element of a Bloomin’ Blinds operation.  Technology designed to create a positive impression with the customer and to improve the efficiency of the franchise operator. 
• Support Team: Bloomin’ Blinds is led by its founders and because there are not ivory towers in our organization, franchise owners have access to those founders every day.  Support is provided by industry veterans with decades of real-world experience.
  
  
• Household name: Bloomin’ Blinds is on a mission to make a national presence in the window covering sector.  Fueled by rapid franchise expansion, a national marketing campaign, and exceptional franchise owners creating memorable buying experiences, Bloomin’ Blinds is only years away from being “the one to want”.
• Recession resistant:  Having weathered the last two major recessions (2001-2004, 2008-2010) as well as the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic (53% growth in 2021).  Offering repairs as well as sales gives Bloomin’ Blinds owners an answer to the question, “What happens when the purchasing of new products dries up?”.  As a leadership team, we have weathered the storm, proven the model through those times, and have the knowledge in how to bring a team through the next sto
