Why Merle Norman?
Merle Norman may be a good choice for entrepreneurs who want to work in the cosmetics and beauty industry. The company has been around for a long time, so there may be a high level of brand recognition and customer loyalty. Additionally, there is no initial franchise fee, though new owners are required to purchase a package of initial inventory. Owners may also open multiple branch Studios after they meet MNC's requirements for the Gold Medallion Program. Upcoming additions to the business model, including spa services and online sales, may draw in new customers in a younger demographic.
Ideal Candidate
While many MNC franchisees are women, the company seeks owners of any gender who are passionate about helping others discover skin care and makeup products that make them feel beautiful. Retail and cosmetics experience are not required but may help potential owners be successful. Owners are not required to physically manage their Studios but must hire and oversee managers. MNC is actively targeting certain areas of the U.S. and Canada for expansion opportunities, so ideal candidates may be people who are interested in working in those specific regions.
