## Story

When Kitchen Solvers President Gerry Henley joined Kitchen Solvers in 2010, there was no place to go but up. Now, five years later, the vision is crystal clear; continue to capitalize on the 83 billion dollar a year (and growing) kitchen remodeling business as the premier kitchen remodeling franchise, offering entrepreneurs across the country an opportunity to provide a better life for their families.

“An estimated 25 percent of all remodel projects in the United States are kitchen remodels and the industry is expected to continue growing 10 to 15 percent per year for the foreseeable future, as the economy continues to strengthen,” Henley said. “Kitchen remodeling is a reliable and consistent business to be in.”

Henley says the brand’s immediate goals revolve around the vertical growth of existing franchisees. The primary focus for the corporate team is to support franchisees on a path to achieving and maintaining consistent double-digit sales growth year over year. “We’re not a brick and mortar business, making multi-territory ownership very possible for our franchisees and we’d like to see them expand their business as much as they desire,” he said.

“We’re aiming to slowly layer in horizontal growth by adding quality franchise partners into the system, without sacrificing sales growth for our existing franchisees.”

In order to support sales growth for existing franchisees, the brand is focused on evolving with the latest trends in the industry. Henley went on to explain that the biggest opportunity in the market today is storage and organization in the kitchen. “We’re incredibly excited about the Storage Solutions product line we launched this year,” he said.

“It could be a game changer for many of our franchisees.” The product line provides effective storage options behind the cabinet faces in the kitchen. For Kitchen Solvers franchisees the products have a quicker sales cycle, higher margins and are easy to install, providing the opportunity to increase sales volume by 30 to 50 percent.

Since Henley took over as president, the brand has implemented what is known as the “Franchise Vision Plan.” “We can offer additional revenue streams and provide training to set franchisees up for success, but we want them to tell us what success looks like to them first,” he said. Kitchen Solvers begins each new partnership by asking franchisees about their ideal quality of life and work-life balance and building a custom business plan that is then based on a mutually acceptable level of success.

“Ultimately, we want our franchisees to build their business to a level they are comfortable with and be happy which then carries over to the experience they are providing to their customers,” Henley continued.

Kitchen Solvers overall model is geared toward creating the “Pleasant Remodeling Experience” for customers. “Our average established franchisee has a 40 to 60 percent referral rate for sales which is fantastic,” said Henley. When I think about vision for the company, a big part of it is making sure our franchisees maintain that referral rate because in this business referrals are everything.”

In five years, Henley says the brand would ideally like to reach 100 units with solid franchisees in place who are operating under a personalized business model that fits the lifestyle they want to achieve. “The true measure of the health of a franchise system is the satisfaction, engagement and profitability of the individual franchisees,” he said. “We want happy, engaged franchisees out there maintaining a superior customer experience for our consumer base and thus consistently increasing their sales -- it doesn’t matter if there are 100 or 200 of them -- that’s our vision for success.”
