Franchising

Since every Living Lighting store is individually designed, every franchisee’s investment differs. We do not follow a “cookie-cutter” approach to our stores, so the construction costs depend upon the size of the unit being opened, and the inventory plan must be adapted to the available space and market. A detailed capital cost budget and operation budget will be provided once a location is selected.
