Just Between Friends Franchise Model Overview

Just Between Friends franchisees host seasonal, temporary consignment sales of gently used children's and maternity clothing, toys and baby equipment. Local families consign and price their own items, the franchisee runs a multi-day event in a large rented venue, typically 10,000 square feet or more, and consignors are paid their share, generally 60 to 70 percent, within two weeks. There is no permanent storefront: the business runs from home with storage for tables and racks, and venues are leased for a few days around each semiannual sale. The investment is under six figures, mostly the franchise fee, event equipment, starting inventory and working capital. Royalty is low on a percentage basis but carries annual minimums. Owners must be actively involved and personally responsible for each sale, supported by part-time event staff and volunteers. The system has been essentially flat for three years. Transfers are common, and buyers of an existing franchise skip the new-location technology set-up fee.

Ideal owner profile

Community-connected organizer who can recruit consignors, shoppers and event volunteers
Comfortable with intense, deadline-driven workloads around two major sales a year
Hands-on owner willing to run each event personally rather than invest passively
Sub-$100K capital with access to storage and a vehicle for event equipment
Event planning, retail or parent-community marketing experience is helpful
