Overview

WOW Windowboxes is an innovative home services franchise that specializes in custom window boxes, seasonal plantings, and automatic drip irrigation systems. Founded in 2009 and franchising since 2024, WOW Windowboxes operates in a niche market with little to no direct competition. The franchise enhances curb appeal for residential and commercial properties while offering franchisees a scalable, high-retention business model.

Franchisees benefit from a fast startup, with operational readiness in just 90 days—referred to as “90 Days to Flower Power.” The business operates year-round, with strong seasonal peaks in both summer and winter, ensuring consistent revenue opportunities. With an 85% annual customer retention rate and a first-mover advantage, WOW Windowboxes provides franchisees with a stable, recurring revenue stream. The franchise model offers both owner-operator and semi-absentee ownership options, making it flexible for different investment levels.

This franchise is ideal for entrepreneurs with strong sales and leadership skills. While no prior experience in landscaping or floral design is required, successful owners should be community-oriented, customer-focused, and excited to build relationships in their local market.
