Garment decorating retail franchise Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More, Dunedin, Fla., recently announced that it has awarded 100 units in its first 10 years of franchising.
The brand closed out 2017 by hitting this milestone and has eyes set on awarding 25 more in 2018.
The leadership team credits much of this success to its franchise partners. “We learned early on, the most important factor in a healthy franchise organization is happy and profitable franchisees,” says Tina Bacon-DeFrece, president of Big Frog Custom T-Shirts and More. “Our entire team truly focuses everything we do on improving the franchisee experience and building their success. We promote transparency, planning and open communication to grow our brand to new heights.”
The franchise has now seen nine years of double-digit growth in system wide gross revenue — up 15% in 2017 — all while continuing to expand its franchise system into new markets nationwide. By bringing the franchise development team in-house, the brand has been able to strategically grow with qualified entrepreneurs eager to make a difference in their communities, according to the company.
The company awarded almost 20 franchise agreements and opened 11 new stores throughout the past year, with nine more slated to open in Q1.
Big Frog uses cutting-edge direct-to-garment design technology to deliver fast, personalized service to local markets, according to the company. — L.V.
