Bloomin' Blinds
Bloomin’ Blinds is a technology company that happens to sell, install, and repair blinds. Powered by franchising’s first custom-built internal AI engine, Bloomin’ Blinds owners are able to harness a decade of data to power their business forward. The dirty little secret in window coverings is that just about every company sells the same products and they do it for about the same price. The key to success in window coverings is speed to appointment, the ability to quickly build rapport and trust, and expertise in articulating the “value add” in picking Bloomin’ Blinds. Bloomin’ Blinds has built its success on the foundation of personal relationships with our customers, instilling a sense of confidence, competence and assurance with their customers well before any conversation regarding product or price. The family that built Bloomin’ Blinds continues to lead from the front with over 20 years of personal experience in the field, yet still maintains an avid appetite for learning from their franchise owners. Combining relationships, value-add, and technology is the winning combination for a successful Bloomin’ Blinds franchise owner, and the brand as a whole.

FORMER FRANCHISEE

May 14, 2025Leadership team is amazing. Technology is leading their industry. My issue was being able to commit the time needed to run the business effectively/efficiently. Their marketing is cookie cutter and didn't attract quality leads. The key piece is having an owner that has referral relationships they can leverage while having a staff that is competent. Great brand for the right franchisee, but I was not that.

Don’t walk, run away. Run by absolute children. Don’t take my word for it. Pull the last 4 fdd’s and watch the average unit volumes dwindle. Take it a step further, remove the outliers - top and bottom performers and see what the actual average unit does. Hint, it’s not good. Founder left and now a franchise consultant, Former ceo left for budget blinds then immediately got fired.
