Just Between Friends offers a unique opportunity to start your own consignment business from the ground up right here in New Orleans.
Turn your bargain shopping habit into a business with Just Between Friends Franchise. The Today Show calls it “the hottest ticket in town,” and they want to come to New Orleans!
JBF has 138 Franchises in 28 states and Canada, but alas, there are none in New Orleans, so they are looking for a mom – or several moms – to be the first to bring this super-successful event to New Orleans.
We have been checking out JBF and talked with some of the moms behind the sale. Here’s how it works:
- Local moms/families run the consignment event twice a year – spring and fall (a few ambitious owners may add in a holiday sale or summer event)
- Families in your community sign up as consignors and sell the new and gently-used items their children have outgrown (or never used)
- Consignors earn 60 to 70 percent
- Other families shop the sales event and generally save more than 50 to 90% off of retail prices
Mompreneurs are the foundation of JBF’s success. The moms, dads and even grandparents who run JBF sales are family-focused and involved in their communities. They help bring those families and communities together to earn and save money.
Here are some details of how you can get started:
- The Franchise Fee is $14,900 in the United States and $16,900 in Canada
- The total investment is between $25,000 to $30,000
- Traits of a successful franchisee include:
- Experience in sales and/or marketing
- Outgoing
- Goal driven with a “get-it-done” mindset
- Management experience is a plus
