FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a ShelfGenie Franchise

ShelfGenie is a custom shelving and home-organization franchise founded in 2000 and franchising since 2007. The brand designs, builds, and installs Glide-Out™ pull-out shelving systems that convert existing cabinets in kitchens, pantries, bathrooms, and other spaces into accessible, organized storage, with products custom-built in the U.S. for each client’s layout.

Owners run an executive-style service business rather than a hands-on trade. The franchisee manages sales, marketing, and customer relationships, while design, building, and installation are carried out by licensed subcontractor teams. The model is home-based, with no storefront or inventory required, and territories typically cover 250,000–500,000 households. Customers range from busy families seeking better organization to homeowners needing ADA-compliant, age-in-place accessibility.

ShelfGenie operates more than 280 locations across North America and is part of Neighborly, the world’s largest home-services franchisor. Membership gives owners cross-brand referrals, the ProTradeNet® buying network, and shared operating systems.

Why buy a ShelfGenie Franchise?

Buying a ShelfGenie franchise offers entry into the home-organization category through an established brand backed by a national support structure. The Glide-Out™ product line and a recognizable name give an incoming owner a known offering in a category that has stayed resilient as homeowners increasingly retrofit existing homes rather than move.

The executive, home-based model keeps overhead low: no storefront, no inventory, and installation handled by subcontracted teams rather than employed tradespeople. As part of Neighborly, owners tap cross-brand referrals and the ProTradeNet® buying network for vendor discounts and rebates, advantages an independent storage business would have to build alone. A centralized Business Support Center handles client communications and supplies CRM, scheduling, and 3D design tools.

ShelfGenie – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners receive ShelfGenie's business operations and systems training, including 107 hours of classroom instruction; the brand trains on its processes rather than the installation trade, which licensed subcontractors perform. A centralized Business Support Center manages client communications and provides CRM, scheduling, recruiting, and 3D design tools, plus ongoing marketing, accounting, and business-development support and access to Neighborly's ProTradeNet® buying network. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and system access ShelfGenie provides to incoming owners and which subcontractor relationships carry over.

  2. Ideal Owner

    ShelfGenie suits an executive, sales-minded owner rather than a hands-on installer. The model rewards people comfortable recruiting and managing subcontractor teams, driving local marketing, and building customer relationships, since design and installation are handled by licensed trades. No shelving or construction experience is required; the brand looks for organized operators who can run the business, follow proven systems, and deliver a thoughtful client experience, including for accessibility-focused and premium home customers.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    ShelfGenie has ranked in the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 for seven consecutive years, most recently #254 in 2026, and has been recognized by Franchise Business Review for franchisee satisfaction. Inc. Magazine has listed it among America's fastest-growing companies, and the brand runs an annual Franchise Owner of the Year program. As part of Neighborly, the world's largest home-services franchisor, it also draws on broader network credibility. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral sources, and reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    ShelfGenie operates in the US home-organization products market, valued at roughly $14.2 billion (Freedonia Group). Demand is supported by homeowners choosing to retrofit and stay put amid high prices and borrowing costs, and by an aging population seeking accessible, ADA-friendly storage that supports aging in place. Custom storage also benefits from steady interest in space optimization across kitchens, pantries, and bathrooms. For resale buyers, these drivers tend to make local demand durable, though results still depend on territory density and local marketing reach.
