Founded in 2009 by Ken and Debra Blue, Blue Moon Estate Sales has become a respected name in the estate sale industry. With its headquarters in Cary, North Carolina, the brand entered the franchising space in 2013.
The company specializes in managing estate liquidations and downsizing efforts, offering clients a seamless way to sell everything from common household items to rare collectibles. Its services are designed to ease the burden during life transitions, such as relocations or the passing of a loved one.
What sets Blue Moon Estate Sales apart is its commitment to professionalism in a typically unregulated market. By applying a standardized, customer-focused model, the franchise ensures that every sale reflects a high level of care, organization, and service quality.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Blue Moon Estate Sales provides a multi-phase training program designed to prepare franchisees comprehensively for running their business. The training is structured and mandatory, covering essential aspects of operations and management.
Blue Moon Estate Sales provides franchisees with a "Protected Territory," typically defined by specific ZIP codes and encompassing a population of approximately 500,000 people.
During the agreement term, the franchisor agrees not to establish or franchise another Blue Moon location within this territory, provided the franchisee complies with all contractual obligations. This includes maintaining minimum performance standards and employing the required staff to retain these rights.
However, the territory protection is not absolute. Blue Moon retains the right to use alternative distribution methods—such as internet, catalog, and telemarketing sales—that may reach into a franchisee's territory.
