BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Independently Owned and Operated, Excellent Customer Ratings

Backed by the strength of a solid National Brand, The Glass Guru Enterprises, Inc., this turn-key, independently owned and operated Glass Guru Franchise is priced to sell. Built from scratch by a local resident, this well-established 12-year-old business is ready for the next entrepreneur to serve the Lake County community and shape the business to their own interests.

The franchise territory includes exclusive marketing rights to Lake County, IL, and service opportunities outside the county in the surrounding communities of northern Cook County and southern Wisconsin. The Glass Guru of Gurnee is presently the only Glass Guru franchise operating in this area, so no territorial servicing issues exist. This is an excellent territory with a population base of more than 700K and great long-term potential. This business is a perfect opportunity for someone with a business, sales, marketing or contracting background looking to step into a recession-proof industry with no trade experience needed. The current owner and the franchisor will train and assist in the owner transition.

The Glass Guru of Gurnee provides residential and commercial glass repair, restoration and replacement services including: window and door glass replacement and frame repair services, full window and door replacement, screen repair and replacement, custom shower enclosures, vanity mirror and mirror wall solutions, tabletop and other flat glass products, and other custom glass enclosures/products. With a current database of over 7,000 customers there is a large existing foundation that provides repeat customer opportunities and enormous potential for future growth.

This well-established business has been a trusted vendor for residential and light commercial window work and shower enclosures for 12+ years and has earned a 4.8 star google rating based on almost 100 reviews. The owner has many relationships with local referral partners (realtors, home inspectors, contractors, builders, property owners and managers) and is pleased to make personal introductions with the new owner.

This business is fully staffed, equipped and busy. All it needs is a new owner interested in taking it forward.

The business also includes a fully developed and maintained website with first-page organic rankings for many top terms, as well as 2 glass trucks with racks, 1 sales/estimator vehicle, shop racks and tables, hand and power tools, showroom displays, and office equipment including fully furnished workstations, phones, computers and tablets.
