Skechers franchise

Skechers is a global leader in performance and lifestyle footwear industry, valuing at $3.56 billion. We design, develop, and market more than 3,000 styles for men, women, and children. Our success stems from our employees, the high quality product offering plus the diversified domestic and international distribution channels and targeted multi-channel marketing. We offer two distinct footwear categories: a lifestyle division and performance footwear, and through licensing agreements, we also offer branded apparel, bags, eyewear, toys, and more.

Celebrities and athletes alike have endorsed our lifestyle collection which includes Meghan Trainor, Rob Lowe, Kelly Brook, Joe Montana, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Howe Long. Endorsers of our performance division include Meb Keflezighi, Matt Kuchar, Brooke Henderson, and others. We sell our footwear in department, specialty, and independent stores as well as in the more than 2,000 company-owned retail stores and online via skechers.com. Our products are available in more than 160 countries and territories.

Once accepted as a franchisee, the new business partner will be immersed into the Skechers Retail Franchising Program and will be attending purchasing sessions and presentations on the local and global level conducted by the Skechers product team. Franchisees will receive access to information-based merchandising sourced from our own store sales data, trend research, and experience for inventory management and planning. They will also receive targeted in-store messaging to guide consumers through extensive product lines. Our new partners will be provided with monthly and seasonal visual merchandising guidance. An expert franchise team will conduct comprehensive on-site sales, product, and employee training programs.

Joining an industry leader as a franchisee requires hard work and determination. For this reason, we want to choose the right person to join the team. The ideal candidate we are looking for should exhibit a proven experience in owning and operating a retail store. The prospective franchisee must have a record of success in the footwear and apparel industry. The franchisee we want should have knowledge and merchandise experience to pinpoint local preferences. Opening a Skechers franchise requires payment of the franchise fee of £13,000 and a total investment approximately £44,000 to £88,000.
