 But it's not just established franchise owners that post record months. Clive and Angela of Dream Doors Poole sold £175,000 in their first five months, and Karen and Ian from Cardiff sold £120,000 in their first three months!


Why is there so much consumer demand for Dream Doors?

A kitchen facelift is popular with customers for three key reasons:

  1. It saves them money – typically half the price of a decent kitchen
  2. It saves them time – a kitchen facelift can be fitted in a day
  3. It saves them stress and upheaval – less mess in the home

And with 80% of its customers in their 60s or older, Dream Doors has a core customer base that is growing, that is less affected by economic uncertainty and has disposable income to spend.
 

No kitchen experience needed. Why? Because, you'll never have to fit a kitchen!

Dream Doors helps you find the perfect kitchen installation team, typically working on a sub-contracted basis. That means you can focus on what you do best – meeting customers and running your business.

dream doorsDream Doors Norfolk's Helen and Philip Mahon have come a long way in the last five years. Says Helen: “We'd never done anything like this before. Running a business, selling and working in the kitchen industry were all very new to us. We had a steep learning curve, but it’s been an exciting challenge. I’d never felt so excited, enthusiastic or inspired by work before!”

Training & Support

Our award winning training programme is vital to your success as a Dream Doors franchise owner. In addition to your induction training and in-territory support, you'll also be given business coaching in:

  • Sales
  • Finance
  • Marketing
  • Customer care
  • Human resources
  • Time management
  • Best business practice
  • Computer Aided Design
  • Appliance and supplier training
Kevin Clarke of Dream Doors Teeside says: "Dream Doors provides plenty of training and support which is very helpful especially if, like myself, you don’t come from a sales or kitchen background."

Dream Doors Showroom and Brand Credibility Will Increase Your Sales

In the three months leading up to his showroom opening in Twickenham, franchise owner Stuart Douthwaite sold £30,000 of kitchen facelifts. In the six weeks after opening, he sold £100,000!

In their first six months working from home, Mike & Elaine Hurley sold £60,000. In their first six months operating out of their showroom in Oxfordshire, they sold £480,000!

With staggered management services fees, Dream Doors will increase your returns

Dream Doors only gets paid when franchise owners get paid, through management services fees based on turnover. These fees are reduced once annual targets are met, so that the more you earn, the less you pay.

Dream Doors Resales Opportunity - Dorset

Dream Doors Dorset started trading in April 2005 and is owned and run by a husband and wife team who were the first Dream Doors Franchise to buy into the "DT" postcode.  Having looked at the location of the towns in the postcode area they chose Dorchester as the hub for the showroom this being the central area of the postcode and also a very affluent sort after location. 


The showroom is ideally located 5 minutes walk from Dorchester Town centre and is situated across the road from Dorchester Hospital and at a prime set of traffic lights providing a thoroughfare into the Town Centre.  In August 2009 the showroom underwent refurbishment and is tastefully fitted out with up to date kitchens, appliances, sinks and accessories. 


Customers receive the complete service from installation, new worksurfaces, appliances, accessories, Gas Safe Engineers, Part P Electrician and Tilers. Dream Doors also provide New Kitchens, designing the new kitchen on Virtual Reality software so that the customers can come into the showroom and see plans of their new kitchen with pictures to take away.  New bedrooms or replacement doors for bedrooms have become more popular over the last year.  All doors, units etc are colour co-ordinated to match.  The service they receive is second to none so this Dream Doors showroom has a very high reputation in the local area. 


Sales turnover at Dream Doors in Dorset has grown rapidly since opening five years ago and has now reached £500,000.  Moving to concentrate on a second Dream Doors showroom the owners are making this fantastic opportunity available for sale at £189,995.  A full prospectus of Sale is available following the signing of a non-disclosure agreement.  Please provide your details and we will contact you.
