Color Me Mine is the leader in the contemporary ceramics industry. Each location is an upscale art-as-entertainment studio offering unfinished ceramics and other craft media. Customers enter a relaxing environment, choose one of 400 unfinished pieces, and spend an hour or two painting it to express their own vision. Ceramic pieces are left to be glazed and fired, then picked up later.

President Mike Mooslin says, “As the only international chain in the contemporary ceramics industry, Color Me Mine is addressing the industry’s concerns that this is a fad and that it’s an easy business to enter. Our focus is on long-term stability through product diversification, proprietary innovations, centralized marketing, and operating systems that are difficult and expensive for independent operators to replicate.”

Color Me Mine’s unique concept offers the franchise owner a business that requires low start-up capital, is fun to operate, is difficult to compete against, and that makes a worthwhile contribution to the community. Even after factoring in the 5% royalty and 1% national marketing fund contribution, Color Me Mine franchise owners enjoy a lower cost of goods sold and lower studio operating expenses than independent studio operators average.

Color Me Mine is the leader in contemporary ceramics and the industry’s only international chain. Each of its 140+ ART-AS-ENTERTAINMENT studios offer a relaxing environment where customers can create lasting memories from their customized ceramics.

When you own a Color Me Mine franchise, you join a family of entrepreneurs who are focused on customers and communities while they rely on their headquarter manage the national vendor contracts, financial services, computer support and future research and development.
