Sea Love is a coastal-inspired lifestyle brand and franchise offering a unique blend of boutique retail and experiential candle-making. With a relaxing, wellness-focused atmosphere, Sea Love attracts customers who appreciate clean, natural scents and coastal aesthetics. Franchisees can offer a full retail storefront featuring Sea Love’s exclusive line of candles, diffusers, and home décor, along with a customizable Candle Bar Experience where guests can pour their own candles or reed diffusers. Made from 100% U.S.-grown soy, our products are eco-conscious, dye-free, and safe for babies, pets, and those with asthma. Whether you're a hands-on owner or prefer a semi-absentee model with a manager, Sea Love provides a flexible and meaningful business opportunity rooted in community and creativity.

Training:
We offer hand on, in person training at our facility in Maine Have a weekly call with operations to walk them through onboarding. This includes walking through our SOP, our Porthole (intranet), making any vendor introductions, etc. This goes from the time they sign, through picking a location, and opening their doors. Once they are open and live, they have a set of meetings 90-day post-opening with others from our team for KPI training and goal setting, marketing support, and boutique and merchandising. Once they "graduate", there are 3 monthly calls that anyone can attend: Founder's call with Barry & Stacy, Marketing Call, and Operations call. We usually have a set topic in mind, but the conversations are meant to be organic in nature, and the call's facilitator is just there to guide the conversation. We, of course, have our Sea Love U, which is required for all employees/managers/owners to become Certified Scent Stylists. This has an online component and an in-store component.
