JM Family has destroyed the Budget Blinds Family.
Former Operator, Jun 1, 2024It WAS a great franchise, but Andrew Skehan is quickly ruining it. He needs to be let go.
Current Operator, Jun 1, 2024A once great and treasured community of business owners and management staff is no longer an attractive business model for the average franchisee.
Current Operator, May 31, 2024New corporate ownership has completely changed the previously successful franchisee model. The new ownership has lost the trust of the franchise cohort to the point that franchisees are looking to abandon a sinking ship and recover their business lost value.
Current Operator, May 22, 2024Great experience in first several years until founders sold. Next 2 owners only about squeezing $ out of franchises without much concern for making system better prepared for growth.
Current Operator, May 21, 2024New corporate leadership is destroying this brand and previous family culture. Constantly changing rules, have increased franchise costs by 400% dramatically decreasing profitability, cannot be trusted. I would not purchase a new franchise.
