Buy an Art of Drawers Franchise

Art of Drawers is a custom home storage franchise that designs and installs solid wood drawers, glide-out shelving, and cabinet and pantry solutions that retrofit into a homeowner’s existing cabinetry without a full remodel. The brand serves residential homeowners looking to improve access, organization, and space in kitchens, pantries, closets, and other rooms.

The business runs on a territory model built around an in-home consultative sale. Owners lead a local team of certified designers and installers rather than working hands-on, supported by a central inbound and outbound sales center that books design appointments. Founded in 2019 and franchising since 2023, Art of Drawers is an emerging system of around 45 territories, headquartered in Marietta, Georgia. It is founder-led by Allan Young, who previously built a glide-out shelving business to more than 160 locations across the US and Canada.

Products are made in the USA, using solid wood with precision dovetail construction and soft-close undermount rails. This premium, design-led positioning sets the brand apart from volume-led organizer and big-box cabinet competitors.

Why buy an Art of Drawers Franchise?

Buying an Art of Drawers franchise offers entry into a premium niche of the home storage market with a differentiated, made-in-USA product and a model designed to scale. The high-ticket, design-led sale supports strong average project values, while a central sales support center books design appointments so owners can focus on building and coaching their local teams. The brand promotes an “empire builder” multi-territory model with low overhead and minimal staff, and franchisees gain access to proprietary design software, established US wood-manufacturer supply, and operating systems built for the category.

For a resale buyer, an existing unit can offer an established territory, trained designers and installers, and a local referral base in a category that has stayed resilient as homeowners invest in their current homes rather than move.

Art of Drawers – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Art of Drawers supports franchisees with initial and ongoing training covering its design process, products, installation standards, and team-building. Ongoing support includes proprietary design software, a central inbound and outbound sales support center that schedules design appointments, marketing and operations guidance, and established US wood-manufacturer supply relationships. Buyers of an existing unit should confirm with the franchisor what onboarding and design-software access transfer at resale, and the certification status of the existing design and install team.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Art of Drawers suits a team-builder and local leader rather than a hands-on craftsperson. The franchisor frames the owner as head coach, recruiter, and trainer who spends most of the day developing a design team and a local marketing team and building referral partnerships at home shows and community events. No prior sales or construction experience is required, but recruiting, coaching, and accountability skills matter, along with comfort selling a premium, design-led product and managing the customer experience to a high standard.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Art of Drawers was named to Franchise Business Review's Top 200 Franchises for 2026, a ranking based on independent franchisee satisfaction surveys, a notable signal for an emerging system that only began franchising in 2023. The brand has also built its reputation on a made-in-USA, design-led product, certified designers, and a strong base of positive customer reviews for its custom storage installations. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, online reviews, and referral relationships.

  4. Industry / Market

    Art of Drawers operates in the US home organization products market, valued at roughly $14 billion (Freedonia Group), with steady growth as homeowners prioritize storage, accessibility, and decluttering. Demand is supported by an aging housing stock, a long renovation cycle, and a preference for improving existing homes over moving amid higher mortgage rates. Retrofit storage upgrades that avoid a full remodel fit this value-conscious but design-aware buyer. For resale buyers, local demand depends on housing density, household incomes, and remodeling activity within the specific territory.
