The HobbyTown USAŽ team has developed a business plan that has proven successful over the last twenty years. When you sign up as a HobbyTown USAŽ franchise owner, we give you operational training from our expert staff, provide you with services that would not be cost-effective as an independent business owner and offer national brand recognition with the HobbyTown USAŽ name.
The greatest asset to joining a franchise system is the success rate. Government research indicates that 80 percent of all new small businesses fail, many within the first year. By contrast, less than 2 percent of new franchises are discontinued within three years of operation. With this comparison in mind, it makes sense to invest in a proven franchise system like HobbyTown USAŽ.
"The hobby industry has seen many exciting changes over the last two decades and it continues to grow, but one thing remains constant, HobbyTown USAŽ continues to offer our customers a wide variety of hobby products that provide hours of family entertainment for very little investment."

HobbyTown USAŽ was founded on a dream to help men and women become successful owners of a hobby store. After twenty years in business, over 170 individuals have succeeded in living the HobbyTown USAŽ dream.
We both left management positions to be in business for ourselves. HobbyTown USAŽ is the opportunity we were searching for - a chance to work together and build a successful business. This partnership has paid off. The HobbyTown USAŽ franchise sales process was professional and thorough. We felt like we weren't just us checking out a business opportunity, but their home office staff were analyzing us as well. They wanted to be sure a HobbyTown USAŽ store was a good fit for us. They weren't just selling a franchise, but looking for someone who would work out well on their team.
The ongoing support we get from Lincoln is awesome, the people there are working for our store. If we have a problem, it's their problem to help solve as well. We don't even mind paying royalty fees, because the amount is worth the service we receive. We have great people behind us in our business - they have a vested interest in making sure we succeed.

We're very pleased with the store support we receive from the corporate office. We wouldn't want to do this alone! Our store has been open for eight years now, and we have every intention of signing up for another ten. Now we need less assistance from a product standpoint and primarily benefit from accounting support. The royalty fee for the services we receive is well worth it.

Our purchase of a franchise went smooth. The staff at the corporate office went above and beyond to make sure our HobbyTown USAŽ store opened on time. The ongoing assistance is great, both the financial documents and the great product pricing we get through the Buyer's Club.
