BoxDrop: Redefining Affordable Mattress & Furniture Retail

BoxDrop has emerged as a dynamic player in the mattress and furniture industry, offering deeply discounted, brand-name products to consumers across the U.S. Since its founding in 2011, the brand has expanded swiftly, now operating in more than 400 locations throughout 46 states.

With its headquarters based in Dublin, Ohio, BoxDrop launched its franchise program in 2015. The business operates using a streamlined clearance center model, enabling franchisees to offer well-known mattress and furniture brands at prices 30% to 70% below standard retail rates.

One of BoxDrop’s standout advantages is its franchise-friendly structure—there are no royalty fees, and startup costs remain relatively modest.

Franchisees benefit from a flexible schedule and strong support network, including initial training and ongoing business development assistance. This approach positions BoxDrop as an attractive opportunity for entrepreneurs seeking affordability, independence, and scalability.

Training

BoxDrop provides a structured training program designed to prepare franchisees for successfully operating their business. The training is divided into distinct phases, each with its own objectives and delivery format:

1. Initial Training Program
   Franchisees are required to complete a 2-3 day Initial Training session within 90 days of opening their BoxDrop Business. This training includes classroom instruction, use of the Operations and Training Manuals, and materials accessed through BoxDrop's dealer website. The program covers logistics, advertising strategies, product specifications, and basic business operations, and may take place at BoxDrop’s Jacksonville training center, corporate office in Dublin, OH, or other designated sites.
2. On-Going Training Program
   After the Initial Training, franchisees may participate in ongoing sessions offered at various locations. This includes modules on advertising (2.5 hours), product knowledge (2.5 hours), and merchandising (1 hour). Although attendance is optional, it becomes mandatory if a franchisee chooses to expand into additional product categories, such as non-bedding furniture.
3. National Sales Conferences
   BoxDrop holds up to two National Sales Conferences per year. These events, typically lasting up to four days, offer franchisees in good standing the opportunity to engage in advanced learning, network with peers, and gain insight into new strategies. While not mandatory, attendance is highly encouraged for continued development.

Territory Protection

BoxDrop provides franchisees with a designated territory, but this protection is conditional rather than absolute. At the time a site is approved, the franchisor assigns a territory based on factors such as geography, demographics, and market conditions.

While BoxDrop agrees not to establish another franchise or operate a competing business under the same brand within this territory, this protection only remains valid as long as the franchisee is in full compliance with all contractual obligations, including minimum purchasing thresholds.
