Flip Flops for the holiday weekend

I don’t know about you, but when I think of July 4th, I think of lounging around the Jersey Shore, wearing a pair of shorts and flip flops. For a few decades now, flips flops have been the footwear of the American summer. So when we heard of a new franchise concept called Flip Flop Shops, it stood out as the kind of franchise perfectly suited to thrive in this economy.

And we’re not the only believers in this franchise. As Jeff D’Arcy from the Allbusiness.com recently wrote, “Flip Flop Shops is the authentic retailer of the hottest brands and latest styles of flip flops and sandals. It’s more than just a shop they like to say… it’s a lifestyle.” Jeff was so interested in Flip Flops Shops, he invited Brian Curin, president and founder of Flip Flops Shops onto his Franchise Show, one of the top of internet radio shows. Jeff and co-host Christine Mudd talked to Brian about what makes this lifestyle concept and their ‘transparent’ franchise organization. Listen to the interview here. “It’s very rare that you find a business that works, but the stars have aligned for it,” Brian says. Brian also discusses Flip Flop Shops first international store (not to mention its units on the Jersey Shore). If you’re interested in this franchise, we’d recommend you take the time to listen to the interview – audio seems be more direct than the written word at times. Undoubtedly, Flip Flop Shops will be providing foot cover for a lot of holiday-goers this weekend. If you’re ready to open your own Flip Flop Shops franchise, follow this link.

  3. Good interview, Jeff and well done with putting out one of the better forums for franchise talk on online radio.

    I’m looking into a pair of flip-flops myself!
