Franchise
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.
