Apollo Blinds Franchise

Window blinds

Apollo Blinds is the UK's most successful window blinds franchise and we are backed by the world's largest manufacturer of window blinds – the Hunter Douglas Group. We are one of the original members of the British Franchise Association (BFA) and have been active in promoting the concept of franchising for more than 35 years.

As one of the top three most recognised window blinds brands in the UK, we are well positioned to grow our market share in an industry that was recently estimated to be worth around £1.2 billion. You can become part of our network – which has currently more than 85 franchise business owners – and enjoy the benefits of running your own Apollo Blinds business under licence.

Our retail store franchise will appeal if you have previous experience in window blinds or the retail industry. You will be fast-tracked straight to a showroom franchise and our dedicated team will work with you to identify just the right location within your chosen territory to ensure the maximum footfall to your store. They will work closely with you to take care of the legal contracts regarding the leasing of premises and fitting them to the same standard as all our other retail stores.

We recently launched a new mobile franchise concept, Apollo at Home, where you can run a franchise from a fully liveried van. This is a new development from Apollo Blinds and offers the same range of products and high standards of service provided by members of our retail network. Apollo at Home is a soft-start entry into the lucrative blinds retail sector and is designed for sales-orientated people to ‘earn while they learn' in the first two crucial years of trading in order to develop strong and prosperous businesses.
