Do it best franchise investment pitch deck 2026

Why now, and what urgent local customer need does this franchise unit address?

The Southeast Bend corridor is growing fast, but residents currently lack a convenient, full-service home improvement destination. This unit fills that gap by providing essential hardware and climate-specific supplies right where people are moving in. Convenience is the ultimate currency in retail.

Local Demand Drivers

• New homeowner influx
• Climate-specific needs
• Underserved quadrant

What does this franchise unit offer, and why is its solution meaningfully better than local alternatives?

This unit blends the massive purchasing power of a national co-op with the boutique service of a local shop. We offer specialized inventory for Central Oregon's climate that big-box retailers often overlook, plus a seamless buy-online-pick-up-in-store experience. Scale matters, but local expertise wins the customer.

Competitive Edge

• Co-op pricing power
• Expert DIY workshops
• Seamless BOPIS integration

Who buys from this franchise unit, and how big is the local opportunity?

Our primary customers are local homeowners and professional contractors who need reliable, high-volume inventory. With a Year 1 revenue projection of $2.61 million and hardware sales alone expected to hit $720,000, the local opportunity is substantial and growing. The numbers show a clear path to market capture.

Target Segments

• Southeast Bend residents
• Professional contractors ($180k Year 1)
• Eco-conscious DIYers

How does this franchise unit make money, and what are the core revenue streams?

Revenue comes from four main streams: hardware sales, building materials, outdoor supplies, and professional bulk sales. We maintain tight control over costs, with Cost of Goods Sold starting at 14% and an EBITDA target of $774,000 in the first year. Margin management is the difference between a hobby and a business.

Revenue Mix

• Hardware sales ($720k)
• Building materials ($540k)
• 14% COGS target

Who are the main local competitors, and what is this franchise unit's defensible edge?

While big-box retailers are the main competitors, they lack our focus on 'Pro-Partner' concierge services and climate-specific energy-efficient materials. Our defensible edge is the deep community integration and specialized inventory that makes us a neighborhood hub. Being the local expert is a moat that big boxes can't easily cross.

Defensible Moat

• Localized inventory
• Real estate partnerships
• Concierge pro service

How much funding is required, and what milestones will that unlock?

We are seeking funding to cover $600,000 in leasehold improvements and $300,000 for shelving and fixtures. These funds unlock a store launch by March 2026, with a clear target of reaching break-even by April 2026 and a full payback within 3 years. Speed to break-even is the best risk mitigator. Finance: update unit break-even and payback model by Friday.

Capital Allocation

• $600k Leasehold improvements
• $300k Shelving/Fixtures
• 4-month breakeven target
