Description of franchise system

A brand new kitchen facelift concept

The kitchen industry is booming and Dream Doors offer our customers a solution that saves time, money and hassle. Our method is based on enhancement of existing doors, not just replacement. We swap the existing kitchen drawers, doors, sinks, appliances, or worktops and deliver a totally new feel and look for the kitchen without a full, expensive kitchen refit.

We incorporate our products into the existing design and upgrade the complete look of the kitchen by this. Our winning formula is based on this economic but dramatic effect. Our success is continuously growing with enormous growth, record sales plus thousands of happy customers. Our existing showrooms already provide a solid foundation - but there's still plenty space for new franchises.

We believe in the excellence of our products and we know that our concept works. We're very proud of the excellent service that our franchisees deliver to Dream Doors customers. We have been successfully operating our kitchen facelift business for over ten years now. Now, we want to expand - with you!

Franchise concept

Here's the winning formula

Relax, with the support and encouragement of our Head Office team and your personal Franchise Manager, you will be able to build your business without all the isolation and risks of traditional business starts. With our ongoing support and training, plus professional advertising campaigns, you will soon be running a showroom, adding credibility and value to your Dream Doors franchise and boost your profits.

We will train you in every aspect of the Dream Doors business to make you comfortable. Our business concept was shown to be especially suitable for wife and husband teams, but it is also a great opportunity for individuals and other partnerships. You will start working from home, and after your first year, you will probably already be operating your own showroom. As you will be able to provide kitchen facelifts at only a blink of usual kitchen refit costs, in a day and without all the disruption of full kitchen refits, your earnings potential is enormous.

We're offering you the opportunity to achieve the financial and personal freedom that you've been dreaming of . Our tried and tested franchise opportunity will enable you to enter the growing kitchen market with a bespoke concept and a large, established prospective customer base.
