Bloomin’ Blinds opens up to new franchise agreements, leadership and tech

Bloomin’ Blinds reported that it continues to surge through a combination of new franchise agreements and entrances into new markets.

The blinds repair and installation services provider ended 2024 with 19 new franchise agreements while expanding into 42 new territories. The franchise now has well over 150 territories nationally.

Growth wasn’t the only success story the franchise enjoyed in 2024. Last year Bloomin Blinds appointed Jeff Wharton as its new CEO while naming Young Yan as chief financial officer.

Additionally, Bloomin’ Blinds unveiled “BloomScale,” a proprietary AI-powered platform, slated for a Q1 2025 rollout, designed to boost operational efficiency and increase franchisee profitability. Other moves included a partnership with Somfy to integrate advanced motorized shading solutions, enhancing the customer experience and boosting service offerings.

“As we prepare to launch BloomScale and continue to enhance the support we offer our franchisees, we’re focused on more than just growth, we’re equipping every member of our network with the tools and resources to truly succeed,” Wharton said. “2025 is a pivotal year for us, marking the start of a new era where innovation, empowerment, and community are at the forefront. Our mission is clear: to foster a thriving network that embraces new technologies, supports one another, and delivers exceptional value to our customers.”

Looking ahead, the home services franchise looks to have more than 150 operating franchises by the end of 2025 and expects to sign 55 new franchise agreements.
