The Wolf’s Take 🍟

DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen is a franchise with serious legs in a $600B+ industry that just keeps growing. Kitchen and bath remodels alone will rake in $235B this year. 

With 50+ years in the game, they’ve got the systems to help franchisees capitalize on that demand without reinventing the wheel. 

At 3-7% royalties and $40K-$54K franchise fees, the financials are reasonable for the space, and that Franchisee Satisfaction award suggests they actually support their owners. 

If you’ve got design flair If you want to build a biz that survives economic mood swings, this could be a smart way to ride the home improvement wave.

SMB TWEET OF THE WEEK

America’s Caffeine Consumption – Chris Hatch

This tweet from Chris Hatch caught my eye because it’s something I have noticed in the wild.

Quite a contrast from Starbucks, for example!
