What’s unique about Turquoise?
Turquoise is unique to not only the metro Phoenix area but to any area in that we provide not only product and service but experience. In our post-covid society, we have found that there is a lack of human connection and in-person experience. Turquoise was built with the mission of providing a wine community, and our customers have eagerly agreed that this is what they were missing in their lives.
Turquoise is a wine bar - featuring boutique wines made by small-lot winemakers, each with a unique story and delicious product. Turquoise is a bottle shop - we sell wines you won’t find in your big box stores. Wines made naturally, a product that you can feel good about purchasing.
Turquoise is an education resource - we love wine, and we love teaching about wine! Join us for regular tastings and classes to learn more about wine.
Turquoise is an experience - we welcome winemakers and wine reps for tasting events, pairings, and catered dinners.
Turquoise is an event space - we host events of all sizes, including corporate events and private parties.
Turquoise is a wine club - join our monthly club and experience rare wines, special events, and community gatherings.
Turquoise is experience through travel - Turquoise Travel will lead group excursions through domestic and international wine destinations.
Training & Support:
Franchising with Turquoise comes complete with a full training itinerary and a suite of marketing tools and support. The Turquoise leadership team will be hands-on with training you on everything from wine and culinary education to Human Resources and labor laws, profit & loss training, POS setup, social media scheduling, and more.
The ongoing support provided to all franchisees is one of the areas that sets Turquoise apart from all others. Between the leaders of Turquoise, this team has decades of experience in retail leadership, Human Resources, financial planning and assessment, retail operations, insurance and labor law, commercial real estate, creative and brand management, construction and tenant improvement projects, wine education, and culinary education.
In addition to months of training and support, Turquoise has set up a marketing toolkit for each franchise owner, consisting of a website template, social media templates, menus, flight cards, Wine 101 training course booklets, new hire booklets, business cards, and flyers, POS set up, wine database creation, signage templates, brand guidelines, and more.
Day in the Life as a Turquoise Wine Bar Franchise Owner:
This is the perfect opportunity for an energetic wine-lover (or wine-loving couple) to run a location with a few part-time people for support. You will typically work 5 days a week with 12-8 pm being a typical shift. As the business owner, you are the face of this community wine bar. It will be up to you to be a gracious host and build connections and establish a wine community in your area. You will need to be able to pour wine and beer, accurately describe wines, and be the “storyteller” for what you are featuring, make food, and serve your guests. Your goal will be to build relationships and create your own “cheers” where customers are known by you and eventually also by each other.
We are in the hospitality industry and the great part of the business is you have the opportunity to create great experiences and make people happy, who wouldn’t want to be doing that every day!?
Franchise Model:
Fee structure: We have a Franchise Fee of $40,000 for the franchise which includes training, onsite support, and marketing toolkit. Territory definition: We will start with Arizona and expand. Within Arizona, we can see a Southern territory including the Tucson market and Phoenix metro which will divide into East Valley, West Valley, and North and South markets.
Buildout: Franchisee will be responsible for the tenant buildout of their Turquoise location. Funding assistance is available through our Franchise Contact.
Ideal candidate:
The ideal franchise owner is someone who wants to work in the shop, learn about wine and educate your customers on this fantastic product, and build relationships within the community. Turquoise has become a quick success because of the people behind the bar - we are the neighborhood “cheers”, and this builds an unparalleled level of customer loyalty.
