The Wine Shop Franchising Guide

Joining a wine shop franchise is a great solution for entrepreneurs who prefer to use a proven model rather than start from scratch. Often, the most important decision you'll make when becoming a franchisee is which franchise to join. Use our carefully selected list of wine shop franchises to find the right one for you.


WINE SHOP FRANCHISE OVERVIEW

For many people, wine is more than a drink—it's an experience. Wine shop franchises use different models to create unique experiences for customers. Joining a wine shop franchise will likely cost between $200,000 and $500,000. Wines tend to have generous mark ups so wine shop franchises are likely to be very profitable. Wine shop franchises also come with built-in models, which helps owners figure out how to maximize profit without much guesswork.

Wine shop franchisees tend to be very passionate about wine tasting, varietals, and regions. That passion makes for a knowledgeable franchise owner who can guide customers to purchase the best wine for them. Franchise owners need to be prepared for long hours—though the time may fly because the job is so fun.
