FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy an Up Closets Franchise

Up Closets is a custom closet and home organization franchise based in Franklin, Tennessee, offering design and installation of storage solutions for closets, pantries, garages, and home offices. The brand is part of Home Run Franchises and has grown to more than 120 locations across the United States since launching in late 2022.

The model is built around a home-based, showroom-free structure. Owners operate from a cargo van without retail space or warehouse facilities, using AI-powered design software to run consultations in customers’ homes or virtually. Materials are outsourced to US-based manufacturers, which reduces overhead and removes the supply chain complications that affect traditional closet businesses.

Up Closets targets a younger homeowner demographic, with a sales process designed for Millennial and Gen Z buyers who prefer a fast, low-pressure experience over traditional multi-hour in-home appointments. Jobs typically involve a 4–6 week manufacturing window followed by a one-day installation, keeping operations lean and the staffing model manageable.

Launched in late 2022 and grown quickly across the country, Up Closets has demonstrated meaningful early momentum.

Up Closets – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Up Closets trains franchisees from the day the franchise agreement is signed, with a documented breakdown of 91.5 hours of classroom training and 14 hours on-the-job. The curriculum covers closet design, measurement, AI design software, sales techniques, digital marketing, scheduling, team management, and P&L oversight. Ongoing coaching continues throughout ownership, covering marketing strategy, operational refinement, and business development. Resale buyers should confirm with Up Closets what initial onboarding and AI design software access are provided to an incoming owner when the unit changes hands.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Up Closets suits a hands-on owner-operator comfortable with a sales-forward role and the day-to-day management of a small home services business. No prior experience in closet design or construction is required; the brand is accessible to first-time business owners, family teams, young entrepreneurs, and service industry veterans looking for a narrower, easier-to-execute model. The role involves generating leads, running virtual and in-person consultations, coordinating contract installers, and managing local marketing; it is better suited to someone who wants active involvement in the business than to a passive investor.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Up Closets earned a place on Entrepreneur's 2026 Franchise 500, ranked #475, and was recognized as one of only five custom closet franchises to appear on that list. The brand launched in late 2022 and reached this recognition within a few years, reflecting strong early growth across more than 120 US locations. Up Closets is part of Home Run Franchises, based in Franklin, Tennessee. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be weighed alongside the local reputation of the specific territory, including customer reviews, referral sources, and community visibility.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US custom closets market was valued at approximately $5.8 billion in 2024, with demand driven by homeowners investing in organization, functionality, and liveable space. Post-pandemic shifts in how people use their homes have accelerated interest in custom storage for closets, pantries, garages, and home offices, particularly as more households prefer renovating over moving. Housing turnover, home renovation spending, and younger buyers upgrading existing homes all support category demand. Buyers evaluating a resale unit should assess how local housing market activity and competition affect demand in the specific territory.
