Launched in 1988 by Larry Stevenson in Portland, Oregon, New Creations has built a reputation for excellence in mobile restoration services. What began as a localized solution for surface repair has grown into a thriving North American network of restoration professionals.
Now headquartered in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, the company expanded into franchising in 1995, enabling aspiring entrepreneurs to bring New Creations' services directly to their local markets through a mobile, home-based format.
New Creations stands out for its ability to restore more than 100 types of surfaces—ranging from leather and wood to granite, fiberglass, and tile. These restoration services support a wide range of industries, including automotive, home interiors, and commercial environments.
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.
The New Creations franchise provides a structured training regimen for its franchisees and their employees. The training by the franchisor includes the following key programs:
New Creations grants its franchisees a non-exclusive but protected territory for operating their franchised business. The territory is defined in writing within the Franchise Agreement and typically encompasses a population of about 250,000 people, based on published data.
This territorial protection is designed to limit direct competition from other New Creations franchises within the same area. Despite the protection, the territory is not exclusive, which means New Creations reserves certain rights.
The franchisor may still operate or grant franchises for alternative formats, such as online or national accounts, that may service customers within the protected area. Thus, while some local protection is provided, it does not guarantee total exclusivity from all forms of competition within the assigned territory.
