MAKE YOUR DREAMS A REALITY, OWN YOUR OWN BOBBLES & LACE

I'M READY.

ABOUT

In 2022 Bobbles & Lace franchised, and now offers partnerships to select aspiring store owners across the country. Until now, Lindsay Rando has personally owned and operated all 8 storefronts, but with this expansion she is opening the brand up to independent owners in a unique way. Lindsay is using the expertise she gained through running a business to provide new entrepreneurs with the tools they need to open and manage their own Bobbles & Lace franchise. New franchisees will be provided with everything they need to open a successful store, including operational strategies and ongoing training to help maintain new storefronts. This franchise launch aims to expand the Bobbles & Lace brand across the country, and build a larger community through the involvement of new business owners, while making business-ownership accessible to more women in a time when women need flexibility and crave a chance to be financially free in a fun and creative way. With this franchise opportunity, Lindsay hopes to provide other entrepreneurs with the tools they need to make their dreams of owning a boutique come true.

  • WHERE IT ALL STARTED

    In April 2008, Bobbles & Lace opened their first storefront in Marblehead, MA. Founder Lindsay Rando had a vision inspired by her triumphs selling fashion items from a cart on the sidewalks of Los Angeles. From there, she persevered and made her vision a reality, teaming up with her aunt to combine forces within her existing store, which became the heart of Bobbles & Lace. Her aunt has long retired, but Lindsay kept running with the Bobbles & Lace concept, expanding to eight locations across the Northeast, ranging from Portland, Maine to Westport, Connecticut. In 2022, she launched the Bobbles & Lace franchise opportunity, with plans to expand across the country with new franchise locations in several cities.The brand covers three key areas of women’s fashion: clothes, shoes, and accessories. With pieces for every season, Bobbles & Lace combines the everyday needs of a modern woman with stylish pieces that make a statement. Attention to detail is vital to the brand as their goal is to curate one-of-a-kind collections for every guest. Each store has a unique look and feel, and even inventory, while still clearly embodying the Bobbles & Lace brand and personality.

  • Simple-to-Operate

    The systems and inventory procedures that have been  developed to manage the business have strengthened the operating model and  will allow for similar duplication in new markets. The Bobbles & Lace model is  operationally structured to run smoothly with few employees and a reasonable  workload for an owner-operator.

  • Efficient & Streamlined

    Through our experience, we have developed  a proven system and process. Workflows, process management and  experience in the field will allow for the Bobbles & Lace model to be  replicated easily with new franchise partners.

  • Stylish Apparel, Delivered With High Quality

    All of our items are both  fashion-forward and the best quality of clothing, guaranteed to exceed our  guests’ expectations each time. This means a strong brand continuation  and repeated customers.

  • We Know What We’re Doing

    Bobbles & Lace has been in the women’s fashion industry for over 15 years and that has taught us how to efficiently streamline our operations and achieve ultimate success in our industry.

  • Strong Potential ROI

    Bobbles & Lace is an affordable step into the women’s fashion industry with our streamlined process and consistent delivery of quality has a strong potential ROI for a franchise owner.
