The Wolf’s Take 🍟

If you’re looking at NOVUS Glass as a franchise opportunity, it’s a well-established brand. They’ve been franchising since the mid-80s, so they’ve got some history. Their model gives you flexibility—it can be a retail storefront or a mobile business, which is huge in terms of versatility. 

Plus, with automotive, commercial, and residential glass repair and replacement services, there’s a steady demand in multiple sectors.

The financials aren’t too intimidating either. A $10,500 franchise fee is pretty reasonable, and with royalties at 6% and a brand fund contribution of 2%, you’re not looking at excessive ongoing costs. 

Given their established brand and strong support system, there’s real potential to tap into a proven business model. All in all, I’d say NOVUS Glass offers a solid opportunity if you’re looking for a franchise that blends flexibility, support, and potential for growth.
