Overview

ShelfGenie designs, manufactures, and installs customized Glide-Out™ shelving solutions for kitchens, pantries, bathrooms, and garages. Since its founding in 2000 and franchising in 2007, the company has become a leader in home organization, helping homeowners optimize storage without the need for full renovations. Recognized as one of America’s fastest-growing companies by Inc. Magazine, ShelfGenie continues to expand its reach in the home improvement industry.

As a franchise owner, you will oversee a home-based business that focuses on sales and customer service rather than direct labor. You will work with in-home design consultants and manage installation teams, ensuring smooth project execution. The franchise provides extensive training, a centralized business support center, and proprietary CRM tools to streamline operations and lead management.

This is a great ownership opportunity for individuals looking for a low-overhead, scalable business in the growing home organization market. With increasing demand for storage solutions, ShelfGenie offers a structured, support-driven franchise model that allows owners to focus on sales and business growth.
