Buy a Creative Colors International Franchise

Creative Colors International (CCI), which operates under the consumer brand “We Can Fix That!”, is a mobile repair and restoration franchise specializing in leather, vinyl, fabric, plastic, and fiberglass surfaces. Its technicians restore worn, torn, and discolored materials on site, helping customers avoid the cost of full replacement. The business has operated since 1980 and has franchised since 1991.

The model is built around home-based, van-equipped mobile units that service a defined local route. Franchisees work with car dealerships, body shops, furniture and RV dealers, hotels, and restaurants, alongside residential and commercial clients, and each owner holds an exclusive, protected territory. The franchisor also coordinates national accounts that direct work to local operators. CCI is a family-owned company led by owner and CEO Terri Sniegolski.

Each van is outfitted with the equipment needed to deliver repairs in the field, including compressors, heat guns, dyes, and graining molds, supported by CCI’s color-matching and restoration techniques. The network spans the United States and Canada.

Why buy a Creative Colors International Franchise?

To buy a Creative Colors International franchise is to step into an established mobile-services system with more than three decades of operating history and a low-overhead, home-based structure. Because the work is van-based, there is no storefront or commercial lease to carry, and owners can build several revenue streams at once across automotive, furniture, RV, hospitality, and residential customers.

Much of the demand is repeat B2B work: car dealerships and body shops reconditioning inventory, and furniture and RV dealers handling warranty and showroom repairs. CCI supports owners with an exclusive, protected territory and national accounts that channel work to the local operator, and prior trade experience is not required because the franchisor trains new owners from the ground up. The repair-versus-replace value proposition tends to hold up well across economic cycles.

Creative Colors International – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    New owners complete an intensive three-week, roughly 160-hour hands-on program at CCI's corporate headquarters, covering repair technique, operations, sales, and the administrative side of running the business. Ongoing support includes field operations assistance, proprietary management software, national account coordination, and marketing help spanning co-op advertising, SEO, social media, and email campaigns. Buyers of an existing CCI unit should confirm what initial and transfer training the franchisor provides to incoming owners and what software and national-account access carries over with the sale.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits hands-on, self-directed operators who are comfortable working from a mobile van, managing their own route and schedule, and selling directly to local businesses. Building and keeping B2B relationships with dealerships, body shops, and furniture retailers is central, so sales ability and reliable customer service matter more than prior trade experience, which the training program supplies. Owners who enjoy practical, detail-oriented repair work and want to grow a protected territory through repeat commercial accounts tend to fit well.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Creative Colors International has earned independent recognition for franchisee satisfaction and value. Franchise Business Review named it a Top 200 Franchise and a Top Franchise for Women in 2026, and a Top Low-Cost Franchise in 2023, and the brand has appeared in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500, including recognition among lower-cost franchise opportunities. CCI is also veteran-friendly, offering discounts to military veterans. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, online reviews, and the strength of its dealer and commercial referral relationships.

  4. Industry / Market

    Creative Colors works in the US vehicle and furniture reconditioning market, where rising replacement costs make on-site repair an attractive alternative. The US automotive interior leather aftermarket alone was valued near $9 billion in 2025, and demand is supported by record used-vehicle values, an aging fleet that dealers must recondition for resale, and steady refurbishment by hotels, restaurants, and RV dealers. The category is largely non-discretionary and tends to be resilient, since repairing worn surfaces stays cheaper than replacing them. For resale buyers, local dealer and commercial account density is a key demand factor.
