Kitchen Showroom For Sale:
7 Things to Look For

According to the 2024 Houzz Kitchen Trends Study, spending on kitchen remodels is growing. That’s good news for people seeking a kitchen showroom for sale as a business opportunity.

At ProSource Wholesale, our showrooms uniquely highlight the key areas of our business, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, outdoor living, and more. We know what makes a showroom successful, and we have some top tips to share.

Benefits of a Showroom Store

A kitchen remodel is no small undertaking, and homeowners often feel more comfortable deciding on the project when they can see a products and vignettes first hand. When the ProSource trade professional members bring their clients to our showroom, that’s the leading comment we hear from homeowners. Seeing our kitchen vignettes and wide variety of products instills confidence in the transformation they’re looking to achieve.

In this regard, the showroom provides an experience – visualizing the cabinetry, countertops and complete concept with their color palette and chosen accessories. Being able to engage with the contractor or designer allows homeowners to choose elements that make the kitchen their own.

7 Things to Look For: Kitchen Showroom For Sale

As noted earlier, when you become a ProSource Wholesale franchisee, you’re part of a buying group in that 150+ other franchisees contribute to the overall purchasing power. You do not, however, have individual contracts to fulfill with suppliers – you simply benefit from the collective effort with all suppliers so you can provide wholesale pricing to your customer – the trade professional.

1. Product displays: Products need to be well-displayed for easy access and viewing. You must have enough samples for customers to choose from, but not so many that it feels overwhelming.
2. Lighting: Kitchens are bright spaces and the showroom has to reflect that. A low-lit kitchen is going to make everything seem less enticing.
3. Navigation: Customers need to easily make their way through the kitchen vignette. The options for cabinetry, flooring, backsplashes, countertops, sinks and other accessories need to be displayed in a way that is easy to see and easily accessible.
4. Design expertise: When considering kitchen showrooms for sale, it needs to have experienced designers that can supply solid design knowledge. The right designer, trained in how different elements combine to form an amazing kitchen for the homeowner is worth the investment.
5. Backgrounds: Pay attention to the background colors in the kitchen displays. A color that is too bright may take away from the entire layout, while a color that is too insignificant will not draw the appropriate interest.
6. Current displays: If the showroom is dated, people will be uninspired by the layout. Once you acquire the showroom, refresh the kitchen displays regularly so you are capitalizing on the trends of the season, and showcasing the products that people are most drawn to for a kitchen remodel.

Extra Showroom Benefits with ProSource Wholesale

ProSource Wholesale is a home improvement franchise that carries kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor living, and sundries. When you become a franchisee, you not only own a kitchen showroom but also an outdoor living and bathroom remodeling franchise. That means more revenue streams for you, with the same showroom concept.

Here’s what we do differently at ProSource Wholesale:

• Design boards: We provide our trade pro members with design boards that allow them to choose room scenes with customers, save favorite projects, and perform design estimates.
• No measuring or installing: ProSource deals with trade pros who are contracted to do the remodel work. We don’t do measuring and installing because our customers – the trade pros – provide that as part of their service.
• Investment intelligence: We are not a stocking dealer which means your cash flow is not tied to the stock you are hoping to sell. Instead, customers pay for their order in advance, and well before your supplier invoice arrives.

Something to Think About

A consumer might renovate a kitchen every 10 years at best, while a trade pro might remodel 15 kitchens in one year. Every trade pro is worth countless home remodeling projects, so you need fewer customers to achieve the level of business as a consumer business model. Referencing the Houzz study again, the overall hiring of trade pros is steady at 84%.
