We believe that someone considering a franchise
already possesses the entrepreneurial initiative and drive
to succeed, the financial security to make an investment
in your future, and a team player attitude. They're also
looking for an established multi-store business with an affordable
turn key package.
Are you looking for a business that has proven
to be recession proof?
Is this the right time in your life
for a career change? Are you retiring early and looking
for a great opportunity to work for yourself in your own
business that is not only fun but is growing in this
difficult economy.
Just Cork-It is currently offering two types of
franchises. Each is designed to open a store that will look, feel
and operate just like any existing Just Cork-It store. The only difference
is the cost of the leasehold improvements when building the store.
The Turn Key Franchise Package
This package is designed for the person who would, after
extensive training in a corporate store, simply walk into their
own store and begin operation on day one. We would take care
of the complete building process from start to finish.
The Handyman's Franchise Package
This package is designed for the handyman: the person
who can do tile work, carpentry, drywall, plumbing, painting, etc.
The obvious benefit of this type of package is that the majority
of the construction costs will be in the materials, not the labor.
We would provide you with the design best suited for your location
as well as consult you throughout the building process to ensure
the best finished store possible.
Our successful business format including
our trade name and dress.
We will assist you in building a store of the same design as our existing stores.
Our name, logo and store design is well known in the Southwestern Ontario market
and it's important to market a consistent image to all of our customers. We will
also assist you in setting up the control systems that are required to monitor
the financial and the wine production aspects of your business.
An exclusive territory around your location.
We will not open or allow someone else to open a Just Cork-It store within a
5km radius of your store.
Assistance in site selection and it's suitability
as a new location.
We will assist you in your store site selection and advise you on it's suitability
based on the information and experience we have gained at our 4 present locations.
Store design and layout to maximize the store's
potential
We will assist you in determining the best design for your location keeping in
mind our concept to satisfy both customers and wine production requirements.
Training in our operational procedures and
production methods.
We will provide you with training in our stores so that you can learn our successful
operational procedures and production methods.
Access through us, to our exclusive suppliers
in your market.
We will supply you with wine kits and accessories from our exclusive supplier.
Many suppliers today are creating protected business areas around stores that
exclusively carry their product. We hold the exclusive territory around all of
our stores and our competitors cannot carry our products. This provides our stores
with a unique product available only through us.
Ongoing support, consultation, and problem
solving.
Wine making can be a tough, unforgiving business if you make mistakes that affect
the quality of the wine you produce. Many of the problems you will experience
we have already experienced and solved. We can help you avoid costly mistakes.
Assistance in developing an effective advertising
program in your market.
We have tested many advertising vehicles over the years and now focus on the
ones that provide a return on our investment. We can assist you in identifying
the type of advertising that will have the greatest effect on your business.
Entrepreneurial initiative and the
drive to succeed.
You must be committed to the success of your business and be willing to work
full time in and on your business.
Financial investment in your business.
You will be required to invest the capital to the set up your business. This
includes the leasehold improvements as well as equipment, permits, legal and
accounting fees, etc. You will need sufficient capital to maintain your lifestyle
while you grow your business to the point where you can draw from it.
A team player attitude.
We are looking for someone who wants to join a successful team. Someone who may
be a star player, but understands that it's a team effort that wins the game.
A long term vision for the growth of your business.
We want someone who is willing to commit to their business for at least 10 years.
