A lot goes into creating the perfect franchise territory when you’re an entrepreneur. You will have a scheduled call with our Corporate Development Department. During the call, we’ll let you know what territories are available in your area, and work with you to choose a franchise territory that meets our common business objectives.

Before we move forward with your franchised business, we will ask that you provide some more detailed information about yourself. Once you have provided the information by completing and submitting our “Advanced Profile Form”, we’ll send you the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). Please review this document carefully. We’ll also schedule a call after you’ve had a chance to review the FDD.

Discovery Day
It’s now time to schedule a half-day Discovery Day visit to The Glass Guru Headquarters in Plano, Texas. During your discovery visit, you’ll have ample time to get to know The Glass Guru Executive and Franchise Support teams. You’ll also get to spend time on a detailed tour of our local franchise, as well as go out on field visits to estimates and customer jobs in progress.
Make Your Decision

If you choose to move forward at this point, The Glass Guru Corporate development team will prepare your franchise agreement and any other required documents for you to execute.
Quick Start Checklist
Once you sign your Franchise Agreement, we will help facilitate your location opening process long before your Initial Training. During this phase, you’ll be working closely with our team of industry and business experts to get your business ready to launch. This includes securing your initial facility, purchasing a vehicle(s), establishing your marketing, negotiating vendors, getting your operating software up and running, and much more.
Initial Franchise Training
You’ll then attend our intensive 5-day Franchise Training Program at one of our Certified Regional Training Locations. During these 5-days, we will pay particular attention to marketing, estimating, and general operations. You will establish graduated learning plans with each of the departments so that you’ll know exactly what is expected upon your return home.
Launch Your Franchise Location
Upon your return from training, it’s time to launch the franchise location. At this point, it’s likely that you’ll turn on your marketing if that has not already happened. You will begin running estimates, and doing business. Graduated learning will continue, as members of our support team will maintain a close watch on your progress, and will be there every step of the way to support you and your operation.
