We want owners who get excited about doing things the right way and who are genuinely committed to giving customers a fantastic experience. If you’re a financially solid candidate who’s ready to shake up the glass industry with a fresh approach, you’re exactly who we want to talk to. We’ll teach you the glass business you bring the drive.

Normally it takes 60 days to complete all the paper work, once the documents are signed its a matter of finding a location and perhaps some construction to bring the flex space to Dulles Glass standards, this time may vary based on location and level of construction involvement  and can take anywhere between 2 to 6 months.

Yes. You deserve the chance to build your business without competing with another Dulles Glass right down the street. You’ll get an exclusive protected territory, the specifics of which will be clearly mapped out in your franchise agreement.

We don’t just hand you a manual and wish you luck. You and your key manager will spend two full weeks at our flagship location in Manassas, VA, learning the ropes. It’s a mix of classroom learning and real, hands-on experience. When it’s time to open, our team will actually come to you for three days to help with your launch, train your staff, and make sure you feel 100% confident. After that, you’ve got our operations manual and a support team that’s just a phone call away whenever you need us.

The estimated initial investment necessary to begin operations ranges from $367,500
to $546,100. This includes a $40,000 initial franchise fee. As with any new venture, it’s important to have adequate capital to fund the initial business growth stages.

We do not provide direct financing to franchise owners, but we may refer to financing sources on a case-by-case basis.

We collect a royalty fee equal to 7% of gross revenues. Fees such as these allow us to fund our ongoing support services and the continued development of programs, marketing tools, training programs, recipes, and systems upgrades. For a full list of fees and requirements, please refer to our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).

Franchise owners will be required to contribute $10,000 per month for the first three months and 3% of gross sales thereafter to the brand marketing fund.

The initial term of your agreement is 5 years, with two subsequent successor agreement options of five years each.
