Color Glo International - Franchise

Build Your Career With Color Glo International
Color Glo International is one the most rewarding franchise systems in the world. Inquire about franchising today.

The Company

Color Glo International is the world leader in the restoration and repair of leather, vinyl, velour, cloth, and hard plastics commonly found in the markets of automotive, aircraft, marine, and furniture. Formally incorporated in 1975, Color Glo began franchising in 1982 and is currently in hundreds of markets throughout the world. Color Glo products are proven every day to offer the correct results and best value every time they are put to the test.

Our Growth

We initially began our franchising in the United States and have since expanded into Canada and over 52 countries worldwide. Our focus is restoring and repairing common defects (such as worn and faded interior components) including leather upholstery, headliners, burns, and broken plastic or composite molding. These problems are found in the interior of every automobile, RV, truck sports vehicle, plane, or boat in use today.

The Color Glo Opportunity

Now is an Ideal Time to Own a Business that Offers In-Demand, Value-Enhancing, Restoration Services
With people keeping their vehicles and boats for longer periods of time, along with commercial transportation companies and entertainment venues restoring, rather than replacing seating and other upholstered items, the demand for our services continues to grow. Normal wear-and-tear and weather conditions take a toll on the appearance, value and functionality of fabrics and surfaces. By returning upholstered items and other surfaces to like-new condition, we help a vast audience of consumers and business owners preserve the value of their investments. As a Color Glo International franchise owner you’ll be well positioned to cater to the ongoing demand for surface restoration and repair services.

You’ll Attract a Vast Audience- A Wide-Range of Businesses and Consumers are Prospective Clients
Our trusted cleaning, restoration, repair, and re-dying services improve the appearance of a variety of materials, including leather, vinyl, cloth, velour, fabric, carpet, plastic, fiberglass and more, which helps Color Glo International franchisees attract a vast audience of commercial clients and consumers. Some of the sectors that typically rely on our services include:
