Stop Reinventing the Wheel: A Proven System for Grand Opening Success


The Ultimate Grand Opening Solution for Emerging Franchise Brands


If you’re an emerging franchise brand founder or CEO, you’ve probably heard this before—or maybe even said it yourself:"We need to do better in grand openings."


It’s one of the most common pain points we hear from franchise leaders. And it makes sense.


A grand opening is your brand’s first big impression in a new local community, the launchpad for franchisees building a loyal customer base, and the most important step in setting your franchisees on a path to profitability.


But too often, brands find themselves reinventing the wheel with every opening, wasting time and resources without a clear system in place. And, ultimately, not nailing the openings in each new market you enter.


I know this all too well because I used to be you. I was a Marketing Director of the Inc. Magazine fastest growing franchise in America in 2014, with no guide, tools, infrastructure, team, or big budgets to make all these openings happen.


And after talking to 50+ founders and CEOs this year, it’s clear that there’s a lack of relevant franchise marketing training and resources and we are here to fill that gap.


So we got to work building (in our opinion!) the best Grand Opening Bundle on the market. This product is designed specifically for emerging franchise brands like yours. We personally wrote, designed and built this resource to help you crack the code on grand openings, streamline your processes, and create progress in your franchise.

Why Grand Openings Matter for Your Brand’s Growth


Grand Openings create connections that drive pre-sales while helping franchisees feel progress and the belief that they are on the right track.


Emerging franchise brands need to get grand openings right because it:


  1. Sets Franchisees on a Path to Profitability

    A strong launch helps franchisees start off with momentum, giving them the confidence and resources to grow from day one.


  2. Validates Your Business Model

    Early wins at a new location send a powerful message to potential franchisees in your sales funnel. When prospects see consistent success at openings, it creates proof of concept that makes your brand more attractive and trustworthy.


  3. Builds Trust and Positive Sentiment in Your System

    Franchisees who feel supported from the start are more likely to view your brand as reliable and open additional locations. When your team is prepared, invested, and ready to help them succeed, it fosters a culture of trust and collaboration that pays dividends long-term.


When done right, strong grand openings create a ripple effect that impacts every corner of your system. Franchisees feel confident, customers become loyal, and prospects see your brand as the clear choice for growth.
