Home Furnishing Franchise | Budget Blinds

Our History

Budget Blinds was founded by five young entrepreneurs on the principle of providing high quality window coverings to consumers in a highly convenient way and at prices that fit almost every budget. That was 1992. Today, the Budget Blinds franchise system of over 100 Canadian and 700 U.S. based franchises still strives to provide consumers with the same superior products through convenient, complimentary in-home consultations. Our franchisees benefit from those same five Founders being active in training and supporting our franchisees; along with the assistance of our 65 member Corporate Staff.

Everyone Needs Window Coverings!

Custom window coverings are a multi-billion dollar industry. Some estimates put the number around $6.9 billion. Whether it’s building a new home, remodeling an existing one, or the vast amount of available commercial business, everyone you meet is a potential customer. With a vast product mix including: shutters, drapery (custom and stock), blinds, shades, window film, motorization, solar shades and commercial solutions, our franchisees own a better than 75% closing ratio on their appointments. Your customers will love that this program was specifically built for Canadians and we strive to use Canadian vendors whenever possible.
