Become part of the fastest growing trend in the kitchen industry with Granite & TREND Transformations

Established in Australia in 1996, Granite & TREND Transformations has expanded its offering to a global market making it the one-of-a-kind brand that it is today. It features a plethora of innovative designs and solutions to transform kitchens and bathrooms in as little as one day, including its main unique selling point, thetop that fits on topwhere super thin, granite, quartz and recycled glass worktops are fitted over existing surfaces.

The pioneering brand is a franchise set-up, owned and operated by Rocksolid Granit (Europe) Ltd in the UK, and has plenty of opportunities for new franchisees to join its growing network for as little as £68,000. Recognising a gap in the market and the growing trend for new kitchens, the franchise set-up was designed to offer the innovative kitchen makeover solutions to a wide demographic across the UK. The brand is always looking for new locations to become a part of the franchise network so that an even wider market can be reached. 

Granite & TREND Transformations has different models when it comes to franchisee opportunities: showrooms or mini showrooms as well as a fabrication facility. Showrooms are best situated on a high street or in a mixed industrial and commercial location with good parking facilities and constant footfall, whereas mini showrooms are ideally located in garden centres or shopping malls. Most franchisees start out as garden centre concessions, as these have a low initial capital cost and so are easy start-ups, and then expand their business by adding larger showrooms in their second year of trading. This has led to annual sales in excess of £1 million! So, becoming part of the franchisee network, through either a showroom or mini showroom, is a really great opportunity.

As well as the annual turnover, Granite & TREND Transformations offers franchisees a full business format package which includes on-going assistance from the Franchise Advisory Support Team (FAST) which can provide expertise across sales, marketing, technical, financial and standard operating procedures. They also provide advice on selecting the correct location for a showroom or mini showroom and the fabrication facility, a Getting Started Guide which is a checklist of actions to be undertaken prior to opening, and immediately after, a professional launch programme tailored to the new showroom's location, and the right to use the Granite & TREND Transformation trademark is also given, along with many other aspects.

Additionally, the brand can provide financial support in the establishment of the new franchise location through its unique partnerships and preferred lending status, whereby 70% of the initial set-up costs can be financed and display materials for showroom design and fit out can be heavily discounted, or in some cases, free.

Becoming a Granite & TREND Transformations franchisee provides an excellent opportunity to work with a company who has a strong commitment to sustainability by using 78% post-consumer recycled content and keeping products out of landfill. It is also an obtainable prospect for dedicated, enterprising individuals to be their own boss; the franchise owner will have the chance to take on multiple employees who can fabricate and install Granite & TREND Transformations' products and maybe even a showroom host so that they can focus on other responsibilities, such as promoting business in the chosen location through a variety of marketing activities.
