If you’ve attended a “paint and sip” class or heard about the concept drinking while painting, you’re probably excited about opening an art studio wine bar. 

Perhaps you're currently in the process or already own an art studio. Whatever stage you're in, we can help take your business to the next level.

If you're completely new to the process, the first step is to decide between the  "franchise" or "independent" route. As a "franchisee", you can expect to pay an upfront cost of $100,000-$150,000, adopt the business model and brand of the  franchisor. Going forward, a portion of  your monthly revenue will be paid out to headquarters commonly known as a "royalty fee".  Since you'll be signing a binding "franchise agreement" for an average of seven years, you could potentially pay at least  50%-80% more over the course of the agreement as a franchisee versus  being an independently owned studio. 

As an independent studio,  you own the business and pay no royalties. More importantly, you have 100% freedom in the decision making process of your brand, location, services offered, products sold, the hours you work, etc. 

If you've made the decision to go the independent route,  but don't know where to start, we encourage you to explore our consulting services and see how we can help you. We have several options depending on your goals, timeline and budget.

   We offer business plan writing, brand development, location scouting, lease negotiation, vendor referrals, studio design and build,  inventory lists, SEO websites, digital marketing, artist interviews, live "instructor-tainer" training, licensed paintings, sales tactics and many more. Rest assured, we'll guide you every step of the way!
