Our Continuous support program
We know that the success of the AR Workshop brand is dependent on the success of each one of our franchise pARtners. That means that our support starts with helping you identify the perfect location for your store and continues with on-going programs to help you grow.

Our franchise support team helps you to select the optimal location for your AR Workshop based on your site search, market and preferences. We pair our knowledge of what makes a successful location to assist with negotiation steps, space layouts and build out planning.
Marketing Support
Our marketing team continues to drive innovation to increase sales and maintain our position as a leader in the DIY workshop category. We strive to stay on top of the latest digital advertising trends to develop market-specific plans that drive new guests, keep existing ones coming back and keep the brand on the top of your guests' minds. We understand that each market has different needs and work hand in hand with individual regions and owners.
Vendor & Supply Chain Support
We strive to make the Build Out and Operations process as seamless as possible by providing reliable vendors and suppliers that we have created loyal relationships with. From equipment, fixtures, opening inventory, and supplies, we know where to locate the best in products and services.

Operations start behind the scenes and continue all the way through to the workshop. We have systems in place that will allow you to work efficiently and give you the extra time you want to focus on the customer experience. We are constantly developing our technology with both the owner and customer experiences in mind.
