About IslandTime Treasures
Much like Build-a-Bear Workshop - We make school and church fundraisers, events, fairs, weddings, and parties a truly unforgettable experience by providing a unique, hands-on art experience for folks of all ages that are as entertaining as they are educational. Our affordable sand impression art experience provides the ability for a customer to build their own treasure utilizing our mobile sandboxes. Our affordable ($10 - $40 per item average) sand impression art experience provides the ability for a customer to build their own treasure in three short steps: Step 1 - They choose a treasure form in a variety of shapes and sizes, or use their hand or footprint. Step 2 - They decorate the treasure sand impression with island bling, including shells, sea glass, rocks, or tons of other cool items. Step 3 - We pour in our special Island Mud. 15 minutes later... voila! Their project is done and ready to go! The IslandTime Treasures franchise opportunity is available in two business formats, depending on your business needs and goals. Franchise investment levels start at an affordable $15,900 and include a comprehensive startup kit that has everything you need to begin scheduling events and making money. - Mobile Unit Enjoy the freedom of a part-time home based business to make money! IslandTime Treasures owners (aka Island Guides) provide our unique product experience for birthday parties, events, fairs, school and church fundraisers, plus many other venues. Mobile unit owners receive a minimum protected territory of 200,000 in population. Mobile unit operators can also grow sales in their territory through the ownership of additional retail kiosks and cart units. - Kiosk & Cart Generate more revenue with the addition of a cart or kiosk! For resorts, camps, theme parks, zoo's, malls, and other public venues, our retail fixed kiosks or mobile carts are "customer magnets" and can provide excellent incremental income. IslandTime Treasures kiosks and carts are customized to fit your facility and can be operated part-time or year-round, depending on your requirements. Kiosk and cart locations do not receive a protected territory and are restricted to doing retail business at the installed location.
