Largest Paint-and-Sip Franchise Expands U.S.
Footprint to Total More Than 240 Studios
Painting with a Twist, the original and largest paint-and-sip
franchise, has opened more than one new studio each week this year,
and is on track to reach their goal of 100 new studios in 2015.
Additionally, the company has signed recent franchise agreements
propelling the brand into seven new states, including Alabama,
Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Montana and Washington.
The brand’s expansion into seven new markets further extends the
New Orleans-based paint-and-sip franchises’ footprint to now cover
33 states across the country. Just last month, Hawaii welcomed its
first Painting with a Twist studio in Honolulu. Throughout the
remainder of the year, the company plans to open three studios
throughout Illinois in Naperville, O’Fallon and St. Charles as well
as studios in Birmingham, AL, Saco, ME, Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN,
Missoula, MT, and Spokane Valley, WA, all through local
franchisees.
“The buzz created in a new market by our first-time twisters
really inspires us to keep growing,” said Michael Powers, Managing
Director at Painting with a Twist. “Painting with a Twist customers
continue to visit our studios more often, which validates our
aggressive franchise growth to meet demand. This further supports
the sustainability of our unique business model.”
Currently, Painting with a Twist boasts more than 240 franchises
and is on target to open a total of 100 new studios in 2015. The
company is the largest, fastest growing, and No. 1 ranked
paint-and-sip franchise in the country. Painting with a Twist was
born in the wake of Hurricane Katrina after local moms Cathy Deano
and Renee Maloney had a vision of creating a safe, creative, and
social venue for people to gather and a platform for local artists
to thrive. With a passion for giving back, the studios host local
monthly fundraiser events called Painting with a Purpose. Through
the program, each studio holds monthly fundraisers for various
organizations in their communities and to date, the company has
donated nearly $2 million to local non-profit organizations.
The turnkey investment to become a Painting with a Twist
franchisee is approximately $100,000. Franchise partners have
access to comprehensive and ongoing training from a Home Office
support staff of 27 professionals, as well as access to the
company’s industry-leading library of more than 6,000 original
pieces of copyrighted artwork which have all been conceptualized
and produced by Painting with a Twist art instructors.
