The Franchise For People Who Like Making Money

American Freight Franchise Opportunity

American Freight Furniture, Mattress and Appliance, the leading nationwide retailer of furniture, mattresses and appliances at discounted prices, has made a name for itself in the franchise industry since introducing its program in 2020. The company has already earned recognition from Entrepreneur magazine as a 2022 Fastest Growing Franchise, 2022 and 2023 Top New and Emerging Franchise and was ranked in the publication's annual Franchise 500.

But what makes this franchise opportunity different?

  • Highly scalable: There are still more than 600 prime territories available for multi-unit development, and American Freight's turnkey operations will allow franchise owners to scale quickly while overseeing multiple locations.
  • Simple to build: The initial investment isn't spent on building out a fancy store. It's spent on putting product into the "no frills, no fluff" warehouse-style store, which makes the franchise owner money.
  • Growing brand with serious buying power: American Freight has spent more than 25 years developing a proven business model and growing to more than 360 stores across 38 states (and counting!). With the buying power of hundreds of stores, franchise owners enjoy healthy discounts on costs per unit and can purchase items in larger quantities for low prices.
  • Semi-absentee: Franchising with American Freight is a rare opportunity to own a successful business without being in the store daily. Dr. Troy Caron, MBA, a multi-unit franchise owner, is able to maintain his full-time career as an orthopedic surgeon while growing his investment with American Freight.
  • Everyone's a customer: Everybody needs a place to sit, sleep and eat, so American Freight's customer base is broad -- making the business model resistant to economic headwinds.

Bottom line: American Freight doesn't just plant flags; it opens successful stores.

The American Freight Story

American Freight Furniture and Mattress was established in Lima, Ohio in 1994 with one simple mission in mind: to help customers save money on quality furniture and mattresses. For the past few decades, the company has stayed true to its early promise and served the nation as a resource for home furnishings -- because everyone needs a place to sit, sleep and eat!

Since introducing its franchise model in 2020, American Freight's per-store average income figures have attracted entrepreneurs and people looking for semi-absentee opportunities. Over the years, the company has grown to over 360 locations across 38 states, including the combination and acquisition of nearly 130 Sears Outlet stores and over 30 FFO Home locations. Throughout its growth, American Freight expanded its product assortment to encompass furniture, mattresses and appliances. Now, American Freight continues to sell the best for less every day through flexible payment options, "take home today" offerings and 100% approved free layaway.
