Exponential Growth Propels Tub liner Franchise to 200 Locations - Consumer Demand for Low-Cost Bathroom Remodeling Fuels Growth of Niche Retail Concept

Glendale Heights, IL—Luxury Bath Systems, the nation’s leader in one-day bathroom remodeling, recently opened its 200th retail location, confirming its position as the largest tub liner franchise in North America.

Starting with one retail bathroom-remodeling store in Chicago’s suburbs in 1991, Luxury Bath Systems began manufacturing high quality acrylic bathtub liners and wall systems, simultaneously building a network of franchise locations throughout the United States and Canada.

“With our line of products, our franchises can remodel any bathroom, any size, any configuration, in six to eight hours utilizing high quality acrylic bath fixtures,” said Davis Glassberg, Luxury Bath Systems founder and president. “Because we simply place our liners over the customer’s existing bath fixtures, our renovations are installed at a fraction of traditional replacement costs. This saves homeowners significantly in terms of both time and money.”

The demand for LBS products became so great in the mid 1990’s that the company actually had to control growth in order to accommodate new customers. Although Luxury Bath Systems has achieved the benchmark of 200 stores, the franchise company has set its sights on serving every major metropolitan market in the United States. In fact, it plans to expand to 500 stores within the next five years.

“With the exponential growth we have experienced in the past, I’m confident that Luxury Bath Systems will very soon be a household name,” Glassberg said.

Luxury Bath Systems is based in Glendale Heights, IL, and has 200 franchises and dealers throughout the United States, with projections calling for more than 225 to open by the end of 2003.
