Site Selection
Carefully researched site selection
As we all know, the location of a business is crucial to its success.
Therefore, we carefully research and select every EmbroidMe site, analyzing factors such as traffic patterns and client potential. Once all criteria are met and a location has been selected, we assist in negotiating your lease and your store’s build-out.
It is only when you are comfortable with your location, lease terms and marketing area that we move to the next phase of the process – we assist you in the transition to ownership and the start-up process begins.
Equipment and Financing

Every EmbroidMe location features the latest in cutting-edge technology. Your franchise package includes everything you need to operate as a full-service embroidery retailer. Quality products are paramount and help build trust in the EmbroidMe brand; therefore, your investment includes the industry’s best embroidery equipment manufactured by Brother International Machinery.
As you will see through our extensive training program, the equipment is easy to use. Plus, as a Brother product, you can feel comfortable knowing you have quality equipment that combines reliability and top-of-the-line production capability.
