Brand Center
The Instant Imprints Brand Center franchise format offers a more complete manufacturing and production component. This gives franchisees more control over product quality, workflow, turnaround time, and customer service.
With additional production equipment, this format can also allow more gross margin to stay at the store level. The Brand Center is designed for a space of approximately 1,200 to 1,600 square feet.
About one-third of the space is typically dedicated to the showroom. The remaining two-thirds is generally dedicated to production.
Production and Scalability
Brand Center locations include more production equipment than smaller formats. Because of that, they require a larger investment but offer more production capability and scalability.
This format is our most popular location model. It can be an ideal choice for an owner who wants to control more production and workflow while serving business customers.
The Brand Center franchise format is designed for owners who want a strong blend of performance, production, and growth potential.
Location Profile
We typically select Class B retail locations or prestige industrial/flex locations. The ideal location has strong visibility and close proximity to business customers.
We also look for bright, friendly, and inviting spaces. Good ingress and egress are important because customers need easy access and convenience.
