Budget Blinds’ New Headquarters Offers Larger “window Of Opportunity”

Innovative Window Covering Franchise Grows into Expanded Facility

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA (Tuesday, October 10, 2000) - Budget Blinds, the largest and fastest-growing window covering franchise in the United States, recently announced the move of their headquarters from a 7,500 sq. ft. office to a 25,200 sq. ft. facility located at 1927 North Glassell Street in Orange. The new office space allows for significant expansion to accommodate more than 100 home office employees, twice the current number of employees.

“We searched extensively for a larger facility that would accommodate our current business needs, as well as the projected growth of our operations,”said Todd Jackson, chief operating officer of Budget Blinds. “The upgraded facility boasts space for training up to 60 new franchise owners at a time and a business center that serves as a remote office for visitors, enabling access to Internet, fax machines, copiers and other communication resources.”

Additional amenities include fitness facilities for employees and an in-house, company-owned retail operation for ongoing research and development.

“When we began franchising Budget Blinds less than a decade ago, we knew our system was going to be successful,”said Chad Hallock, president of Budget Blinds. “Our entire staff has worked incredibly hard to meet consumers’needs and make our company what it is today. Our office move to the expanded Orange facility is a result of that hard work and dedication.”

Budget Blinds is poised to dominate the $5.3 billion window covering industry with projections calling for the addition of 300 franchises this year alone. On average, the company opens approximately 20 new franchises per month across the nation.

To achieve 40 to 50 percent market share by 2010, Budget Blinds recently created and launched a marketing plan that includes an aggressive national consumer advertising campaign, targeted local advertising support for franchisees, and new marketing materials and web resources for consumers and franchisee support. The company also continually refines and develops new products, tools and tactics to increase revenue.
