Gatsby Glass

Gatsby Glass is setting the new diamond standard in the glass industry as we bring 3D technology and an innovative sales process to a fragmented industry across both the residential and commercial lines. Our 3D / CAD imaging allows clients to view what their completed project will look like from glass to hardware. That is just the start of our world-class service and sales process as we start each appointment with an expert design consultant to roll out a virtual showroom. This allows clients to never leave home or the office again as they can see each option from their current location. You pick out the glass, style, hardware, and everything involved to complete your project at the convenience of a fingertip. Each installation is meant to bring in recurring revenue as not only do we install your glass, but we show you how to clean and maintain the life and warranty. We have a proprietary package that allows you to remove hard water stains, sealing, and cleaning with our Crystal Shield System. Our services include Frameless Showers and Doors, which is the fastest-growing segment in the glass industry, Bathroom Mirrors, and Commercial Frameless Glass and Doors. Interior Commercial Glass is the focal point for each location as we grow and diversify into exterior commercial glass in year 2+. Why do customers choose to raise their glass with Gatsby? Over the past thirty years, we’ve taken up the mantle of providing excellent, prompt customer service with quality glass and a long history of installations done right. We can’t wait to bring that level of expertise and quality into your home and office.

The franchisee expressed an extremely positive view of the brand. They report exceptional onboarding and ongoing support, with financial results and ROI meeting expectations and the franchisor’s customer acquisition strategies working effectively. They are very likely to repurchase, recommend, and expand within the system, and while the technology offering is strong, there may be modest room for further enhancement.
