About this Business
Established Fibrenew Territory for Sale – Kamloops, BC
An opportunity to acquire an established, family-run Fibrenew franchise in Kamloops, BC. Built by Peter and Patricia Eisler, Fibrenew Kamloops has earned a strong reputation for quality workmanship and service.
After returning to Kamloops in 2012, Peter and Patricia became Fibrenew franchise owners. With no active Fibrenew presence in the area for approximately five years, they rebuilt the business and developed a loyal client base and commercial relationships.
Why Fibrenew Kamloops Stands Out:
- Established reputation and client base
- Limited local competition
- Strong repeat and referral business
- Commercial relationships, including Rocky Mountaineer
- Flexible Monday–Friday operations
- Large territory with diverse repair opportunities
- Significant growth potential
The business requires very little active marketing. Growth opportunities include automotive services, local dealerships, additional commercial accounts, increased marketing, and hiring technicians to expand capacity.
Peter and Patricia are ready to step away from full-time ownership to focus on their health and the next stage of their lives. They are willing to provide part-time support during the transition.
Fibrenew Kamloops offers an established business with strong relationships, flexible operations, limited competition, and plenty of room to grow.

Growth opportunities
There is significant untapped potential within the territory, including: - Increasing local marketing and advertising - Expanding further into the automotive industry - Building relationships with local car dealerships - Developing additional commercial accounts - Hiring a technician to increase capacity - Taking advantage of the broad range of repair opportunities throughout the territory Peter and Patricia currently do not actively pursue the automotive market because they already have enough work. This leaves an entire segment available for a motivated new owner to develop. Looking back, one thing they may have done differently is hire a technician sooner, highlighting the potential to build a team and increase the capacity of the business. For someone who is technically inclined, motivated, and willing to market the business, Peter and Patricia believe the potential is extremely high.
Owner's Day-to-Day Involvement
Peter handles the majority of customer service calls and repair work, while Patricia manages sewing, phone calls, emails, and general office administration. Together, they share the remaining responsibilities involved in the day-to-day operation of the business.

Additional Info
Fibrenew Kamloops has grown primarily through repeat customers, referrals, and a strong local reputation, with very little active marketing. The automotive market remains largely untapped, offering additional growth potential. Peter and Patricia are also willing to provide part-time support during the transition, sharing their knowledge and experience with the new owner.

Reason for Selling
Reason for Selling: Due to health-related circumstances, the owners have made the difficult decision to downsize and sell Fibrenew, as the current workload has become increasingly challenging to manage.
Why I Love My Franchise
We love the flexibility Fibrenew gives us to manage our own schedules and be our own bosses. Working together has allowed us to build strong customer relationships while enjoying the satisfaction of completing quality repairs and seeing happy customers.
About Fibrenew
Fibrenew is a mobile service franchise specializing in the repair, restoration, and renewal of leather, plastic, vinyl, fabric, and upholstery. Technicians work on-site across a broad mix of markets, including automotive, residential, commercial, medical, marine, and aviation. Customers range from homeowners with a worn leather sofa or car interior to businesses, clinics, restaurants, and lodges that need damaged surfaces restored rather than replaced.
Founded in 1985 and franchising since 1987, Fibrenew has grown to more than 300 locations worldwide, across the US, Canada, Mexico, and several international markets. The company has been family-owned since Michael and Fran Wilson acquired it in 1994. Fibrenew manufactures its own proprietary product line and has developed the repair techniques and color-matching technology its technicians use in the field, which it positions as the core of its advantage.
The model is mobile and home-based: franchisees operate from a branded service vehicle rather than a storefront, working a protected territory. With multiple service verticals and a green, replacement-alternative message, the business draws revenue from both one-off jobs and ongoing commercial accounts.
Franchisee Support
Initial training is 70 hours of classroom instruction delivered over two weeks at Fibrenew's Canadian head office, plus on-the-job training as needed to build hands-on repair skill. Ongoing support includes proprietary business software, a franchisee intranet, regular newsletters, and meetings and conventions. Marketing support covers national media, SEO, email and social campaigns, and ad templates owners can localize. Buyers of an existing Fibrenew unit should confirm what transfer training and software access the franchisor provides to incoming ownership, given the technical, color-matching nature of the work.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Fibrenew has ranked in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 since 2017 and was named the #1 leather and vinyl repair franchise in the 2026 list, with recognition in its fastest-growing, home-based/mobile, and under-$100,000 categories. Franchise Business Review has repeatedly honored the brand, including 2025–2026 recognition for franchisee satisfaction, culture, innovation, veterans, and women in franchising, plus a Top 200 Franchises placement for 2026. Fibrenew is also a long-standing member of the International Franchise Association. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be weighed alongside a territory's local reviews and referrals.
Industry / Market
Fibrenew operates in the US furniture repair and reupholstery market, valued at around $2.0 billion in 2026 (IBISWorld), alongside adjacent demand in automotive, marine, and commercial restoration. The category is driven by the cost advantage of repair over replacement, which strengthens when households and businesses tighten budgets, plus growing interest in sustainable, waste-reducing alternatives. Demand spreads across many verticals rather than one, which can cushion local slowdowns. For resale buyers, the durability of a unit's commercial accounts and referral base signals how well a territory captures this demand.
Ideal Owner
Fibrenew suits hands-on, detail-oriented operators who enjoy skilled craft work and direct customer contact. No prior trade experience is required—owners come from teaching, engineering, sales, and many other backgrounds—but candidates must be willing to master the company's repair and color-matching techniques during training. Because the work depends on precise color matching, owners cannot be color blind. The role blends fieldwork with local marketing and relationship-building, so comfort developing commercial accounts and managing a mobile schedule matters as much as manual skill.
