ShelfGenie is a customized Glide-Out shelving and storage solution franchise that has remodeled millions of cabinets in kitchens, pantries, bathrooms, and garages since it began transforming spaces in 2007. Inc. magazine recently praised ShelfGenie’s ability to provide customized solutions to its growing base of clients, listing us as one of America’s fastest-growing companies.
ShelfGenie designs, builds and installs Glide-OutTM shelving systems. Our innovative shelving is custom-built to retrofit existing cabinets, resulting in perfectly placed shelves that glide in and out with just the touch of your fingers. With our system, cabinets are organized; storage is accessible, efficient and clutter-free. Glide-Out shelving works in virtually every cabinet and pantry in the home and is beautiful and highly durable. From the kitchen to the bathroom to the garage, ShelfGenie does it all.
ShelfGenie is a home-based business model providing a niche product within a mature industry. We have highly effective tools and resources in place that allow franchisees to focus on scaling their business. Our franchise model allows the owner to focus on marketing and sales while leveraging designers and installation partners with the following systems and services:
- Streamlined business processes
- Centralized business support center
- Need-based product
- WishPortal Franchise Management System – full scale, customized CRM that is fully integrated into the business support center and media buying platform.
The ShelfGenie business process, business support center, and WishPortal combine to bring operations and management systems only found at large companies – without the fixed overhead. All of the fees charged (royalties, business support center and WishPortal) are variable and related to sales.
