Kitchen Tune-Up NOT EVERYONE HAS THE BUDGET OR PATIENCE TO DEAL WITH A MAJOR kitchen overhaul. Often projects go over budget and displace families for weeks or even months at a time. Kitchen Tune Up offers an inexpensive and convenient alternative for people to get a new look in their kitchens (and bathrooms) without the usual hassles and expense. The company was founded in 1988 offering the “original Tune-Up” and over the years added more services, including cabinet refacing, redooring, custom cabinets, storage solutions, and more. You might think you would need a special contracting background to run this business, but that’s not the case at all. There is no heavy lifting involved either. What is needed is a service-oriented attitude and the ability to manage a team. “We are looking for partners who are self-starters,” says Heidi Morrissey, president. “If you can manage people and tasks, we provide training on all aspects of our business.” The company offers extensive training, including working with the home office team for the first 12 weeks, plus ongoing webinars and support. “People don’t even believe it when I tell them about the ease and value of this opportunity,” Morrissey says. “Franchisees can run the business out of their homes and grow it at their own pace. We are here for our franchisees every step of the way,” she adds. For more information, contact franchise@kitchentuneup.com, 800-333-6385, or visit www.ktufranchise.com.
