🎙️ Episode 6 - In this episode of The Franchise Champion Show, Alan interviews Jessi Chichelli, who transformed from a 26-year corporate retail career into a multi-brand franchise owner. Jessi shares her journey from Budget Blinds to adding The Designery, achieving over $1 million in revenue with a single territory and becoming a "unicorn" in her system. She discusses the challenges of corporate bureaucracy that led to her franchise exploration, how she built Budget Blinds into a million-dollar business, and her strategic decision to expand vertically with kitchen and bath remodeling when horizontal expansion wasn't possible. Jessi opens up about managing two franchise brands simultaneously, the renovation challenges of adding a showroom, achieving $300K in sales within four months of opening The Designery, and valuable advice for professionals considering franchise ownership later in their careers.
