Buy an Existing Franchise
We offer potential franchisees the opportunity to buy an existing franchise, which offers multiple advantages.
Why Buy an Existing Franchise?
From time to time, current Pearle Vision franchisees will decide to make their EyeCare Centers available for purchase. If you’re interested in a more turnkey business opportunity, this might be the right fit for you! Buying an existing franchise means you’ll be stepping into an already-established business with procedures in place and a staff that already knows the ropes.
When you buy an existing franchise, you won’t have to worry as much about marketing or establishing your patient base. Our EyeCare Centers already have positive reputations in the areas they serve and patients who are a recurring source of revenue. With fewer tasks on your plate, you’ll be able to focus on growing a thriving business.
Buying an existing franchise may also be a better fit for your financial goals. While all of our franchisees are expected to meet the same financial qualifications, the cost of purchasing a current Pearle Vision EyeCare Center can vary. Depending on how long your franchise has been in business, you may need to oversee a refresh, but you will not be responsible for the costs of constructing an entirely new brick-and-mortar store.
What should I be prepared for?
Transitioning to a new owner presents challenges for the owner, the staff, and customers alike. Existing customers will have certain expectations about service, and the new owner must meet or exceed their expectations in order to retain these customers. Likewise, the staff may feel strongly about processes that worked for the former owner, and it may be challenging to secure buy-in for new procedures. It’s important that franchisees who choose this path are strong leaders and skilled at managing personalities.
