1-800-Striper is a line striping and pavement maintenance brand. Its franchises paint the striping that marks out spaces and directions in parking lots. This could be re-painting worn striping, providing a new layout, marking out disabled provision, or whatever else the lot needs.
A parking lot is one of the first things that customers see when approaching a business, so can be crucial in creating a good impression, and that’s an important part of how 1-800 Striper sells its services. But there’s more than just parking. The franchise also provides striping for sports courts and playgrounds—creating space and structure for games—as well as for garages and factories to help operations run smoothly.
It’s a relatively unusual niche that many people overlook, meaning that there’s not a huge amount of competition, and the brand has opportunities available across most of the country. It could suit an entrepreneur looking for an unusual but practical business that helps others get their business right.
