Paint-it-yourself ceramic studio
Color Me Mine is the leader in the contemporary ceramics industry. Each location is an upscale artas-entertainment studio offering unfinished ceramics and other craft media. Customers enter a relaxing environment, choose one of 400 unfinished pieces, and spend an hour or two painting it to express their own vision. Ceramic pieces are left to be glazed and fired, then picked up later.
Based in Glendale, California, Color Me Mine was founded in 1992. There are over 130 studios open and under development in the United States, Canada, China, Netherlands, South Korea, Philippines, Kuwait, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, and Australia.
Color Me Mine has no other priority than the support of its franchise owners.
President Mike Mooslin says, "As the only international chain in the contemporary ceramics industry, Color Me Mine is addressing the industry's concerns that this is a fad and that it's an easy business to enter. Our focus is on long-term stability through product diversification, proprietary innovations, centralized marketing, and operating systems that are difficult and expensive for independent operators to replicate."
According to Maria Baker, Senior Director of Franchise Development, "When you own a Color Me Mine studio, you gain several important advantages over individuals who choose to go into business on their own. As a franchise owner, you are part of an established system of operations from the moment you open your studio. You receive 9 days of comprehensive training and have access to experts with years of business experience in the field so that you don't have to rely on your own trial and error. You become part of a team of savvy operators who meet annually to share experience and expertise, log onto a franchisee web site for marketing materials and ideas, and become part of an organization that has national name brand recognition."
It's time to give yourself permission to build your days around what's important to you! You're in Control!
