There has been a demonstrated growth of 20% annually within the $1 billion bed industry, with huge potential for growth. The average turnover in Bedshed’s Victorian stores is $3.75 million and stores consistently report a profit excess of 10% across the board.
Nearly Half a Century of Growth
The first Bedshed store opened its doors in Perth nearly half a century ago as the first waterbed experts. The company grew in strength and franchised 2 years later and never looked back. Since then, the store fit-out and product range has changed dramatically, but the vision and passion to strive for the best has stayed the same.
Today, Bedshed is established as 1 of Australia’s biggest specialist mattress and bedroom furniture retailers boasting more than 30 booming franchise stores nationwide run by more than 20 happy franchisees thanks to its highly refined franchise model and robust systems.
Thousands of Stylish Bedroom Brands
Bed frames, mattresses and beds galore are to be found at Bedshed, but customers don’t only find beds there. Stylish complementary bedroom furniture helps customers design their dream bedroom suite. A cute range of children’s bedroom furniture also delights young ones of all ages.
The staff at Bedshed are experts at advising customers in putting together perfect combinations. WIth a choice amongst trusted brands that suit any budget, happy customers will surely come back for more, and that’s what has helped Bedshed take lead in the bed retail industry.
A Comfortable Franchise to Grow From
The Bedshed bed retail franchise was built on 3 simple factors: the smart product selection of well-known and exclusive brands, a unique inventory model that lowers costs and store-specific tailored design and store fitout. This deceptively simple, yet tried and true franchising model has proven highly successful and, today, the relatively small but hugely successful franchising network is still growing from strength to strength.
Each of the company’s franchisees have unique stories of how they thrived, fully backed by the company. Many of them own and operate multiple franchises and turn over millions of dollars each year.
Merchandise Advisory Council
The Merchandise Advisory Council (MAC) comprises of a select group of Bedshed franchisees voted for by the franchise network. The MAC represents the franchisee network and works with the Bedshed Merchandise team in designing, developing and deciding furniture stock. Manufacturers produce pieces based on the recommendations of the MAC which franchisees can then order directly, cutting out supplier margins, which means higher profits.
Top-Notch Training & Support
Bedshed works hard to support franchisees through issues and celebrate with them over successes while giving them the independence to manage their own outlets. The company shares all of its industry knowledge through its bespoke training customized towards each franchisees’ strengths and weaknesses, bolstering franchisees with specialised advice whenever required. Specialist knowledge is also disseminated through the franchise network via Bedshed’s informative and useful blog.
