Buy a 1-800-Textiles Franchise

1-800-Textiles is a textile and soft-goods restoration franchise that cleans and restores clothing, rugs, leather goods, bedding and other fabrics damaged by fire, water, smoke, mold and storm events. Technicians inventory affected items on-site for homeowners and businesses, bag them out for transport, and clean them at a dedicated facility using an eco-friendly, oxygen-based process before returning them.

The business runs on a hub-and-spoke model. Spoke units operate as home-based, van-based first responders that collect textiles at the loss site, while hub units add a processing facility for cleaning, storage and return. Much of the work flows through restoration and mitigation companies and insurance claims, giving the model a B2B referral backbone alongside direct consumer demand. Owners can run it owner-operated or staff it with employees.

The brand launched in 2021 and began franchising in 2022 as a sister company to 1-800-Packouts, both part of Five Star Franchising, a multi-brand platform backed by Princeton Equity Group whose systems span more than 700 territories across the U.S. and Canada. Franchisees operate within protected territories, and the network has grown to 50-plus locations nationally.

Why buy a 1-800-Textiles Franchise?

Buying a 1-800-Textiles franchise offers entry into the insurance-driven restoration category, a niche that tends to hold up across economic cycles because demand follows disasters rather than discretionary spending. The brand’s specialty focus on textiles sets it apart from broad-line restoration firms, and the eco-friendly, oxygen-based cleaning process gives owners a clear point of difference when pitching contractors and adjusters.

The home-based, low-overhead structure keeps fixed costs down, and the hub-and-spoke design lets owners start lean as a spoke and scale into a processing hub. Backing from Five Star Franchising provides shared infrastructure, purchasing co-ops and cross-referral potential with sister restoration brands such as 1-800-Packouts that an independent operator would have to build alone. Veteran discounts are available for qualifying candidates.

1-800-Textiles – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training runs 10 to 12 hours of classroom instruction plus 14 to 28 hours of on-the-job training, covering textile restoration techniques, the proprietary inventory and cataloging systems, and insurance relationship management, with a National Training Complex in Jasper, Georgia. Ongoing support includes marketing assistance, operational guidance, purchasing co-ops and a franchisee intranet platform. Buyers of an existing unit should confirm what transfer training and inventory-system access the franchisor provides when ownership changes.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits hands-on local operators comfortable building B2B relationships, since much of the work comes through restoration companies, contractors and insurance adjusters. Strong customer-service instincts matter because jobs follow stressful events for the client. Owners should be organized and process-driven to manage inventory, cataloging and turnaround, and able to coordinate technicians whether running the unit owner-operated or with a small team. Prior restoration experience helps but is not required given the structured training.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    1-800-Textiles has earned repeated recognition on Entrepreneur's Top New & Emerging Franchises list, most recently ranking #95 in 2026, and was named #55 on Entrepreneur's 2026 Top Franchises for Less Than $50,000. Earlier recognition includes Entrepreneur's Fastest Growing Franchises (2023) and a place on 1851 Franchise's Fastest Growing Emerging Franchises for 2026. The brand also draws credibility from parent Five Star Franchising, the Princeton Equity Group-backed platform behind sister brand 1-800-Packouts. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the territory's local reviews and referral reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    The U.S. damage restoration services industry is worth roughly $7.1 billion in 2026 (IBISWorld), supported by steady demand from fire, flood, storm and mold events and the insurance claims that fund the cleanup. Textile restoration is a specialized niche within that sector, where soft goods are often overlooked by general restoration firms. Demand is largely non-discretionary and tied to property losses rather than the broader economy, with climate-driven weather adding to claim volume. For resale buyers, local insurance and contractor referral networks shape how much demand a territory captures.
