Advice on Drawing a Floor Plan for your Franchise Business

By: Roni Deutch

Designing the floor plan of a franchise location is one of the most important steps a franchisee will complete in the franchise process. It is essential to have your store setup in a way that it not only functions with your specific business but also sends the right message to potential customers. If your store is too crowded, poorly lit, or unorganized, it could deter customers. Although the specifics of your floor plan will greatly vary based on the type of franchise you open and the location you choose, there are still a few tips anyone should consider when drawing up a floor plan.

Understand The Requirements of Your Franchisor

Franchises frequently have extremely strict guidelines when it comes to floor plan design. In fact, some even provide downloadable sample floor plans that their franchisees must use. Additionally, some franchisors even have “floor plan consultants” that are available to give advice and help prepare floor plans.

Take Accurate Measurements

Before preparing the floor plan you should take accurate measurements of your site. Make sure these measurements are 100% accurate. Remember it never hurts to double check, or even triple check, your measurements. Having these measurements will allow you to draw an accurate floor plan that will let you maximize the available space.

Identify Physical Changes Immediately

Sometimes you will not need to make any physical improvements to the site, but if you do it’s important to get them completed in a timely manner. That way there will be no physical changes or construction to worry about when it’s time to start moving your furniture.

Know The Site Inside & Out

You need to know your site inside and out. Be mindful of light fixtures, electrical outlets, phone lines, etc. Many of these amenities will be essential in how you lay out your store. There is no point in having a computer desk setup on a wall where there are no outlets or a reception desk where there are no phone lines. If caught early, many of these small details can be fixed fairly inexpensively and will spare you major headaches later in the move in process.

Submit As Soon As Possible

Submit a sample floor plan to your franchise headquarters as soon as you have it completed. Floor plans almost always need to be approved by franchisors, and there are no guarantees on how long it will take them to get back to you.
