Bloomin' Blinds Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2022

Background

Bloomin' Blinds offers a different spin on the 5 billion/year window covering industry. By adding blind repair and general maintenance to the business model, Bloomin' Blinds offers a better all-in-one experience for customers and more revenue potential for a business owner. While window coverings are generally a high profit industry, the repair and maintenance services are all labor and even better margins.

You do not need to know anything about window coverings to consider Bloomin' Blinds for your future. Training programs and ultra-attentive support allow owners to learn the business and technical aspects very quickly, allowing you to feel like you know what you are doing right away.

This is a great profession for someone who likes lots of moving parts and wearing several hats all at once. One franchise owner described the business model as "a smart person's business" meaning that there is just as much work mentally as physically. Bloomin' Blinds franchise owners can find success as a small one-man-band or can use the tools available to scale the business into a multi-million dollar business.
