The Business: Paint Juicy

Paint Juicy is the Paint and Sip studio for all, located in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast and Brisbane with venues via our amazing partners all up and down Queensland. This started as a dream to create an inclusive space for the LGBTIQA+ community – but it’s so much more than that now!

The Challenge

The key challenges for Paint Juicy were:

  • New to the market; only 1 year old
  • Competing sources but at the same time want to grow though franchising
  • Other competitors already in multiple locations;
  • Threat of new entrants is high
  • Rivalry among existing competitors is high

The Solution

Paint Juicy engaged DC Strategy, a specialist at developing networks, to review the current position and determine the most suitable business format for expanding Paint Juicy nationally & internationally. The project first focused on identifying the issues that would
prevent the expansion of the business. Recommendations were then developed to address those issues, which included
developing the business systems and structure, thereby supporting the growth plans of Paint Juicy. A Franchise Program was developed based on a full format franchise, to complement the existing company-owned practices, as part of Paint Juicy’s growth strategy. The program included developing the economics of the strategy, commercial policies, recruitment and operational processes, and the understanding of how to build a national network.

The Outcome

DC Strategy worked with Total Tools to achieve the following:

• Universal network support for changing the support office corporate structure, including each member entering into a new franchise agreement
• Gained approval to alter the support office remuneration structure to fund network growth and support office services
• A defined growth plan with clear requirements to achieve the network’s objectives
• A clearly defined plan for new store rollout
• A new board of directors made up of founding members and independent directors was implemented and charged with ultimate responsibility of achieving the growth objectives

Total Tools now has the structure, funding and strategy to tackle its next phase of growth and achieve its goal of becoming Australia’s number one trade tool supplier. Potential franchisees enquiring about the Total Tools system can be confident the group has the structure and systems to support their business from inception to maturity.
