About More Space Place

More Space Place® is a home organization and storage products company dedicated to helping you Make Room for Life®. Founded in 1987 by Bob Lewis, the company has enjoyed over three decades of tremendous growth. We have served thousands of satisfied customers by designing and installing murphy wall beds, custom closet and storage systems, and space-saving home furnishings. With a national network of independently owned & operated franchises, we Make Room for Living® and are America’s #1 Murphy Bed retailer. We create custom storage and space-saving solutions for every room in the home. Whether you are creating your dream closet or searching for extra room for storage or to work, our design consultants offer endless possibilities to help organize your home, maximize space, and simplify your life. Several remarkable success stories from such a small investment, and most of our store owners have no furniture or design experience; we train from the ground up. We believe that our system is poised to benefit from just a small upturn in the economy and the trend towards more organized living in smaller homes. Our history, physical presence and product warranty positions us well against “man and a truck” competitors. Our stores typically operate from 10-6, six days per week (with in home consultations possible before or after hours). We employ professionals, not high maintenance minimum wage kids.
Franchisees receive a large Protected Territory and comprehensive start-up assistance that includes site-selection help, showroom design and specifications, product selection, financing assistance, several weeks of initial franchise owner and personnel training, and a product line with thousands of styles that are easily tailored to suit their market. Advertising and marketing programs are provided along with sales and installation training, and additional support with areas of accounting, staffing, and information systems. Franchisees also benefit from a powerful proprietary CAD system, order processing assistance, minimal standing inventory, a single-source supplier, new product development and acquisition, group purchasing power and manufacturer product guarantees.
All More Space Place cabinetry is processed at its own American Owned and Operated manufacturing facility in Clearwater, FL. The custom modular systems are carefully crafted of quality environmentally sustainable materials that are independently certified to exceed California’s strict environmental standards.
Although the investment is low, our candidate needs to have the capital to either fund the venture on their own or secure the funds necessary.

OUR IDEAL FRANCHISEE
Although we do not require sales, design or carpentry experience, we do want someone who is trainable to learn the rudimentary parts of those skills, and that can hire other professionals to assist in Sales and Product Installation. We are willing to train as long as they are willing to learn. We prefer a hands-on hardworking owner/operator for their first store. This may not be back breaking work but there is a lot to deal with in opening the store, getting trained and training others (with our help), and creating lots of happy customers who love their furniture.
