The Slime Kitchen - Franchise

The Slime Kitchen

The Slime Kitchen is a unique one-of-a-kind franchise focused on slime creation for slime lovers of all ages. We sit nicely at the intersection between art, science, and entertainment, which are key growth categories. Our main service is a do-it-yourself slime making experience, but we also host parties and workshops and sell slime and slime supplies. We have little to no competition. Our model closely resembles build-a-bear for slime.

Currently, the demand for slime is growing with slime dominating social media, leading to so much interest, demand, and evolution of slime. In 2019, slime content was over 25B views on YouTube alone, and the trend has surpassed those numbers. We are growing at a rapid rate and expect to be in every mall in every state in a few short years. We opened our first store only two and half short years ago and have since opened a company store every six months due to success. Given the demand, we are now offering the company to franchisees who share in our love for slime and want to be part of an explosive female-founded franchise with an incredible year-one offering. The franchise has just become available and we've signed 4 locations within the first two months.
