Kitchen Refresh
Kitchen Refresh franchises enable owners to operate studios that specialize in refreshing and remodeling cabinets and drawers for kitchens, bathrooms, and other interior spaces, as well as installing backsplashes, flooring, and countertops. The business model involves licensing proprietary marks, operating procedures, and standards to franchisees who provide these home improvement services to property owners and occupants. They target residential customers seeking cost-effective kitchen and bath renovations without full replacements.
