Initiative Reinforces Bloomin’ Blinds’ Ongoing Commitment to Franchisee Success at Every Stage of the Journey

DALLAS – Bloomin’ Blinds, the nation’s premiere window covering franchise, has officially launched its Financial Literacy Course, a vital initiative aimed at offering ongoing financial education and support for franchisees. Recognizing that financial literacy is essential for long-term success, the executive team developed this program to provide comprehensive training on critical financial concepts and tools, empowering franchisees to enhance profitability and drive business growth.

Through ongoing financial training, the program equips franchise owners with the knowledge to confidently manage operations, plan for growth, and contribute to the overall strength of the brand.

“At Bloomin’ Blinds, we understand that our franchisees’ success is the cornerstone of our brand’s growth,” said Jeff Wharton, CEO of Bloomin’ Blinds. “The launch of our Financial Literacy Course allows us to provide hands-on support, empowering our franchise network with the financial expertise to make informed, data-driven decisions that drive sustainable, long-term growth. We pride ourselves on being a responsible franchise brand and this initiative further cements our dedication to responsible franchising.”

Program Overview

The first session of the Financial Literacy Course kicked off on January 27, with a webinar covering essential financial topics, including:

  • QuickBooks Fundamentals: Franchisees received a walkthrough of QuickBooks basics, including income and expense tracking, invoicing, budgeting, and financial reporting.
  • Financial KPIs and Profit Margins: Participants learned to calculate and interpret gross, operating, and net profit margins using their profit and loss (P&L) statements.
  • 2025 Sales Planning: Franchisees were introduced to a detailed spreadsheet for projecting revenue and cash flow, allowing for scenario planning and proactive financial management.

Another session was held in February, with future courses continuing on a monthly basis. These will alternate between technical training sessions and interactive workshops, providing participants with opportunities to apply their knowledge and enhance their financial strategies. Additionally, franchisees now have access to valuable resources, including customized QuickBooks reports, benchmark data for system-wide performance comparisons, and educational guides on accounting methods.

“Understanding the financial health of your business is key to making informed decisions and achieving sustainable growth,” said Wharton. “Through this program, we are helping our franchisees gain financial confidence and ultimately build stronger businesses.”

With more than 150 territories across the U.S. and continued growth on the horizon, Bloomin’ Blinds is committed to supporting its franchisees at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey.
