Apollo Blinds

The concept

Apollo Blinds is a UK-based retail franchise that sells window blinds, awnings and plantation shutters.

The company, which has more than 40 franchises in the UK and Ireland, is part of the Hunter Douglas Group – an international manufacturer of window blinds. Apollo Blinds' franchise owners enjoy the benefits of being part of the Group, which include high quality of products and constant innovation.

Apollo Blinds has an excellent reputation for the high quality of its made-to-measure blinds, the inspirational customer service it offers and the exacting standards of its workmanship when fitting blinds. The company is so confident about the quality of its blinds that each one comes with a two-year guarantee.

The opportunity

There are two ways to own an Apollo Blinds franchise – either through a retail or mobile franchise.

The retail option will involve franchise owners being fast-tracked straight to a showroom. They will work with the Apollo Blind's dedicated team to identify the right location within the territory to ensure the maximum footfall to the store.

The mobile franchise option involves operating an Apollo Blinds franchise from a fully liveried van. It offers the same range of products and high standards of service provided by members of Apollo Blind's retail network.

Ideal franchise owner profile

The Apollo Blinds retail franchise is suited to those with pervious experience in window blinds or the retail industry; while the mobile option is suited to people who do not have previous experience in the window blinds or the retail industry.

Investment requirement

Depends on territory size.
