Educational Outfitters
Jamey and Brian Elrod founded Educational Outfitters in 1998. The Chattanooga, Tennessee-based couple makes school uniform shopping more convenient for parents. The company sells tops, bottoms, jackets and accessories for public and private elementary, junior high and high school students.
Educational Outfitters is the first franchise opportunity that offers retail stores selling school uniforms and dress code apparel. Our customers are parents of students enrolled in Kindergarten through 12th grade at private, parochial, Christian and public schools. This is a huge and growing market. Not only are enrollments at private secular and religious schools growing, but also an increasing number of public schools are turning to uniforms and dress codes as a means of improving scholastic achievement, conduct, safety and self-esteem.
An Educational Outfitters location is a destination store, saving you a large portion in real estate costs. In addition, they have already arranged financing on your inventory purchases with several of the most important suppliers. You can launch an Educational Outfitters store for an initial investment as low as 82,080 US dollars, a fraction of the cost of many retail operations.
Educational Outfitters has developed highly effective sales and marketing programs that help you secure schools as clients with a minimum expenditure of funds. They will teach you how to spend your marketing dollars most efficiently, saving you considerable money and increasing your revenues. Plus, we have created specialized sales programs for schools that already require uniforms, those who are considering requiring uniforms and those who do not yet realize the benefits of school uniforms. These targeted sales programs all you to enroll more schools.
The total investment is from 90,600 to 194,700 US dollars, for a franchise fee of 29,500 US dollars, an ongoing royalty fee of 5 percent with a term of agreement for10 years, which is renewable. They are ranked number 396 in the Entrepreneur Magazine 2006 Franchise 500.
