# Color Me Mine Brings the Art of Having Fun to Tennessee

**TL;DR:** Color Me Mine is expanding in Tennessee with a new studio set to open in Nashville, in addition to its existing studio in Murfreesboro. The brand is taking advantage of Tennessee's favorable franchise growth environment, as reported by the International Franchise Association.

## Story

The brand currently operates one studio in Murfreesboro, with another set to open within Nashville later this year. Nashville also serves as the home of Color Me Mine’s corporate training center, making it a strategic hub for onboarding and supporting new franchisees in the region.

The expansion plans come as The International Franchise Association (IFA) recently released its annual Franchising Economic Outlook showing that Tennessee is expected to be the 7th best state in the nation for franchise growth this year due to population growth trends, the region’s business-friendly policies and industry growth.

“Tennessee stands out as a prime market for franchise growth,” said Teresa Johnson, CEO of Color Me Mine. “With the state projected to be among the top in the nation for franchise development in 2025, we’re excited to partner with passionate entrepreneurs to bring our creative, community-driven experiences to more families. Together, we’re spreading ‘The Art of Having Fun’ to new regions and inspiring artistic expression across the state of Tennessee.”

Founded in 1991 in Los Angeles, Color Me Mine was acquired in 2020 by Twist Brands LLC.

“Murfreesboro was the perfect fit for Color Me Mine. We’ve got great food and entertainment here, but there was nothing quite like a hands-on, creative experience,” said Caitlin Davidson, owner of Color Me Mine Murfreesboro, which opened in 2010 and converted to Color Me Mine in 2022. “Our studio offers a feel-good escape – a little artistic self-care – where people of all ages can unplug, unwind and tap into their creativity.

With MTSU just around the corner, we see tons of students come in, ditch their phones and get completely immersed in their art. It’s a safe, welcoming space where the whole community can come together and create something meaningful.”
