Color Me Mine Franchise Model Overview

Color Me Mine studios are paint-your-own-pottery and craft studios: customers choose bisqueware, paint it at the table, and the studio glazes and fires the pieces for pickup, with revenue also coming from birthday parties, children's and adult classes, workshops, camps and group events. The brand has been franchised since 1996 and now sits under Twist Brands, the parent of Painting with a Twist, with affiliated companies supplying ceramics and craft materials. Studios are about 1,200 to 2,000 square feet in leased retail space seating 40 to 70 customers, so the investment is a mid-six-figure tenant build-out plus kilns, furniture and inventory. The owner or a trained general manager must devote at least 40 hours a week, which makes this workable for an owner-operator or a hands-off owner with a strong manager. The system is almost entirely franchised and has grown steadily over three years. Item 19 reports gross revenue and franchisee expense data.
