Our success is in our system… we have store owners proving it every day!
With over 130 stores in 42 states, HobbyTown USA is America’s proven hobby store concept and the world’s largest hobby franchise. Each HobbyTown USA store carries a broad array of models, trains, radio-control vehicles, games, science items, kites, rockets, toys and much more. Progressive Business Strategy
Why do we stock so many categories when other hobby stores do not? Because we are in the entertainment business, not just the hobby business. The key to the success of our stores has been diversifying into new areas and capitalizing on new products before everyone else.
This includes targeting products that appeal to our future customers as well as our current customers. Sales of kids products and transitional hobby products have increased in recent years as a result of the product mix we have developed. This has not only helped increase overall store sales, but has broadened our customer base and increased the bottom line for our store owners.
Point-Of-Sale System
We also have a long-standing strategy of utilizing technology to streamline operations and cut expenses. Our state-of-the-art point-of-sale system not only tracks sales, but also controls your inventory level, and features on-line ordering direct from vendors. Our National Promotions Program features advertising and promotional programs designed to bring more customers into your store, increase customer loyalty, solidify HobbyTown USA’s brand name in the marketplace and foster better working relationships with distributors and manufacturers.
Some of the programs include national magazine advertising, customer newsletter mailings, a HobbyTown USA private label rewards program, educator’s catalog, and various marketing programs with distributors and manufacturers.
HobbyTown USA’s commitment to a progressive business strategy means that you’ll be a more successful HobbyTown USA franchisee.
No Hobby or Retail Experience Required
We have the systems to help you operate your own business even if you have no retail or hobby experience. From our point-of-sale computer system to financial reporting and consultation to a graded item database that tells you what items are “hot” today, our experience and knowledge will help you meet your goals for your own store.
Build Your Dream
At HobbyTown USA, you will find that we believe in a low-key, low-pressure sales approach. We are looking for partners who can learn to love the hobby business. We do not have high pressure salespeople or professional outside marketing firms. Instead of pressuring you for a fee and signed agreement, we will encourage you to look at all the options, consult outside parties, and make an educated decision… and we’ll help you whenever we can.
As you consider the possibility of developing your own HobbyTown USA business, you are invited to visit our home office in Lincoln, Nebraska and meet our entire team.
