Todd Giatrelis was a Boston entrepreneur who was good at starting, running, and then selling businesses, including a tuxedo rental shop, a dry cleaning store, and a quick-serve pasta restaurant.

After starting up a successful retail and franchising consulting firm (Gates Group), one of his employees (Sarah Towne) noticed the distinct lack of places to purchase flip flops, and so begins the history of Flip Flop Shops in 2004.

Headquartered in Atlanta, GA, franchising began in 2008 and now includes more than 100 shops globally with another 150 in the worldwide development pipeline.

Flip flops are footwear on the upswing of popularity in all kinds of non-beach settings. Here’s how the chain is riding the wave of casual footwear:

A Compelling Vision

Flip Flop Shops isn’t going for any modest goals. To the contrary, their vision is bold and audacious: To establish Flip Flop Shops as the authentic global leader in marketing casual flip flops and casual footwear. To be the #1 franchised retail chain of flip flops and casual footwear throughout the world by building a breakthrough brand and world class franchise system. The satisfaction of our consumers and profitability of our franchisees will be our top priority.

A Franchising Dream Team

Having a bold vision is one thing, while making it happen is another. Co-founders Todd and Sarah are making a go of it by pulling together a dream team of franchising experts including CEO Darin Kraetsch (of Moe’s Southwest Grill fame), president Brian Curin (of Cold Stone Creamery fame), and COO Alan Woods (of Mama Fu’s Asian House fame).

Together they’ve laid out the business objectives and goals they think will lead to success, including having profitable units, securing premiere locations, leading all competitors in unit development, maintaining favorable margins and reliable distribution, achieving operational excellence, creating strong franchisee relations, and becoming a breakthrough brand.

Starting a Movement

You may not have heard of Flip Flop Fridays yet, but you probably will. When company president Brian Curin nearly suffered a heart attack in spite of being young and fit, he wanted to do something to reduce stress and promote heart health in workplaces everywhere.

Teaming up with the American Heart Association, he has launched the “Heart To Sole: Creating a Stress-Free America” campaign. Flip Flop Shops has declared June to be “Stress-Free America Month,” encouraging companies to allow employees to wear flip flops to work each Friday throughout June as a symbol of reducing stress in the workplace to benefit heart health.
