About EmbroidMe
EmbroidMe, founded in 2000 by Ray Titus, began franchising in April of 2001 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Today, headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, we have over 160 employees in 3 offices around the world.
EmbroidMe has been at the forefront of this
growth as one of the world's first embroidery and promotional products
franchises,
successfully franchising the full-service embroidery, garment
printing, promotional products and personalized gifts concept for over seven
years. We have used our experience to develop a business model that has led
hundreds of EmbroidMe franchisees to success and helped us grow to become
the world's largest embroidery franchise. As part of our family you get
the full support and services of the EmbroidMe team - a group that is
committed to providing you with the training, consulting, equipment and
resources you need to make your EmbroidMe store successful.
In addition, every EmbroidMe franchisee enjoys the benefits of being part of a
large network with perks such as:
- High Volume Buying Power: With over 350 stores worldwide, EmbroidMe has an
economy of scale that enables us to negotiate exceptional prices with vendors;
thus, giving you a chance for huge savings on all your supplies.
- Professional Store Design: Every EmbroidMe franchisee has the advantage of a
retail design expert who will help make the most of a store's layout.
- A Respected Brand Name: EmbroidMe is the most recognized name in the
embroidery, garment printing, promotional products and personalized gifts
industry. We have been ranked the #1 franchise in the industry by Entrepreneur
Magazine every year since we began. All EmbroidMe franchisees profit from the
name recognition associated with being part of the world's #1 embroidery
franchise.
No prior experience necessary - As a result of one of the most extensive
training programs in the franchising industry, EmbroidMe franchisees become
trained experts in embroidery, garment printing and business operations.
Our comprehensive program includes various phases of training:
- A two-week introductory training program (including travel and lodging
expenses) at EmbroidMe University located at our corporate headquarters in
West Palm Beach, Florida where you will learn all aspects of the business such as
production, marketing, advertising, scheduling and bookkeeping.
- One week equipment training with Tajima reviewing the embroidery machines from
top to bottom.
- Two weeks of training at your store with one of our experienced operations and
marketing advisors who will assist in your store's setup as well as the
implementation of our proven marketing program.
We support you every step of the way
Our role doesn't end when you open your doors. As an EmbroidMe franchisee, you
gain the full resources of a team committed to helping make your store a success
through continued training, consulting, marketing, research and technical
support.
Carefully researched site selection
As we all know the location of a business is crucial to its success. Therefore
we carefully research and select every EmbroidMe site, analysing factors such as
business counts and client potential. Once all criteria are met and a location
has been selected, we assist in negotiating your lease and your store's
build-out.
Future
EmbroidMe stores are known for master craftsmanship and exceptional customer
service. Each of our individually owned and operated stores works hard to
provide customers with the highest quality products and with the personalized
attention they have come to expect from EmbroidMe. While we have proudly won the
coveted Entrepreneur Magazine's #1 Franchise in the Industry Award every year
since we began, it is the repeat customers and many referrals we receive that
let us know we are doing something right.
