Kitchen Tune-Up Gears up for Robust Growth

TL;DR

Kitchen Tune-Up reflected on its past year and plans for the year ahead, with a focus on supporting franchise owners and reaching new heights for franchise growth. The company added 62 franchise locations in 39 new markets, bringing its total location count to 208.

To ensure that during the onset of the pandemic there was “No Tunie Left Behind,” Kitchen Tune-Up forgave minimum royalty fees for any franchise owner (also known as a “Tunie”) affected by the mandated government shutdown. The company also implemented virtual project estimates in place of in-person consultations.

“2020 was definitely full of surprises, but despite Covid-19 restrictions, our team was able to make strategic decisions to ensure our franchise owners not only survived the pandemic, but emerged stronger,” said Heidi Morrissey, President of Kitchen Tune-Up. “Without our incredible Tunies and their teams, our growth and success this year wouldn’t have been possible. We look forward to keeping up the momentum and reaching our growth goals for 2021.”

More time at home in 2020 meant more home projects arising. As people were cooking more and using the kitchen as a multi-purpose space, they often realized a kitchen update could help accommodate the usage. Kitchen Tune-Up services include the company’s Tune-Up, a proprietary wood reconditioning process, as well as cabinet painting, redooring, cabinet refacing, and custom cabinets. While many kitchen remodeling services can take weeks, leaving kitchens inaccessible, Kitchen Tune-Up can finish its work in as little time as one to five days.

Last year, the brand added 62 franchise locations in 39 new markets including Atlanta, Nashville, Tennessee; Farmington Hills, Michigan; and Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona, bringing its total location count to 208.
