Franchise Direct recently sat down with Brian Curin of Flip Flop Shops to record a franchise podcast about one of the most innovative new opportunities in franchising. Flip Flop Shops is the first retail store in the world dedicated to selling flip flops.
“This is one of the most unique and special opportunities out there in franchising,” Brian says. “Flip flops are part of a $20billion industry worldwide. They’ve been outselling athletic shoes for the past two years running, yet there’s no retail space dedicated to this industry.”
Brian and his colleagues applied the model of franchises with a reputation for success for launching Flip Flop Shops.
“We looked around and saw that those people who make up that $20 billion worldwide could only get their flip flops online or in shops that merchandise poorly. We saw what Sunglasses Hut did 20 years ago and applied a similar model to what we’re doing with Flip Flop Shops.”
According to Brian, there are a number of reasons why Flip Flop Shops is so unique.
“We’re fresh. It’s never been done before. We literally have zero direct competition.”
“Another reason is the seasoned leadership team that we have,” Brian says, who has a track record for launching successful franchises.
“The other thing that makes us unique is the experience that we’ve been able to develop in terms of the shop design of the Flip Flop Shop. It starts 15 feet before you get into the Flip Flop Shop, when you get the scent of coconut sun oil. It transcends you to a mini-vacation within your shopping experience.”
“Also, we’ve trademarked a term called environmentally-responsible retail," Brian adds, and Flip Flop Shops uses environmentally-friendly materials wherever it can.
Brian says if you have the passion to succeed in franchising, you might be the ideal Flip Flop Shops franchisee.
“What we want to see first of all is passion, people who are passionate about this idea and the flip flop lifestyle. We also want people like us, who are willing to go out of their way to do the right thing, We want to see people who get involved in the community, and franchisees who have a heart. And we want people who want to have fun,” he said
Your total franchising costs with Flip Flop Shops will run from $160,000 - 200,000, a small price to pay for such a big business idea.
