Awaken the Picasso in others, and join in this innovative Paint and Sip Industry
The Business Mode
The great Picasso once said “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” We’ve found the solution to that problem – with our relaxed, enjoyable environment, & expert guidance from top local artists; customers are able to awaken artistic ability that they didn’t realize they had! Pinot’s Palette represents a fresh and relevent business model that provides customers with an opportunity to learn, create and socialize while enjoying the best in casual food and wine – an unforgettable experience that converts first time customers into repeat customers.
The Beginnings
Pinot’s Palette first opened for business on May 6, 2009. Being a new concept to the Houston market, we started small, with the hopes of having a few classes a week. As word of mouth spread, so did Pinot’s Palette – Today, we have several extraordinary locations and are now accepting applications for independently owned and operated studios through the Pinot’s Palette franchise system.
A New Standard
Through strategic brand differentiation and superior customer service, Pinot’s Palette has set a new standard in the fast growing Paint and Sip Industry. The combination of our innovative technology, marketing strategy, and business excellence allows us to provide a unique experience for our customers that keep them coming back time and time again.
The Future
Pinot’s Palette was developed during challenging economic times and has proven its abillity to thrive. We have built a brand and business model that is scalable and replicable in multiple and diverse markets throughout the United States. Much has changed since the opening of our first location, but the one thing that hasn't changed is our mission - To continue on our path of developing a successful national brand, provide unmatched support to our franchise partners and bring the magic of the Pinot’s Palette experience to consumers nationawide.
The Paint and Sip Industry
The “Paint and Sip” industry competes with other “Girls Night Out” establishments, including Wine, Sushi and Martini Bars, as well as Date Night options such as dinner and a movie. Other competitors include pottery studios and companies which offer instructional-based, create-your-own-product concepts such as gourmet meal preparation.. The price points associated with each of these activities and services are substantially higher than a night out at Pinot’s Palette.
Industry Advantages Include:
- Low start-up capital
- Simplicity of Operations
- Gratification of daily operation
- Minimal Competition
- Offers a worthwhile contribution to the community
- Rapidly expanding industry
- High demand among entrepreneurs and consumers alike
