You have a ground floor opportunity to own the rights to 1-800-Radiator and take over our business in the protected Southern Colorado franchise territory. The area includes Colorado Springs, Montrose, Pueblo, Alamosa, Delta, Durango, Canon City, Castle Rock and others. We have a well-established customer base and plenty of room for continued growth. You will have well over 2,000 wholesale shops to service, twice the size of a typical territory. This territory has pre-identified wholesale accounts-your customers. These are businesses like: auto repair shops, body shops, part stores, salvage yards, new and used car dealerships, radiator shops, fleet accounts, gas stations, etc. Radiators? Yes! You are always in demand. A typical radiator fails in 8 years and much sooner for the collisions. Your services and products are always needed and you don t need an auto background. You do NOT fix or install radiators. You will sell and deliver brand-new radiators to some customers within 1-3 hours and the rest will be delivered the next day on an overnight courier. All parts are sold with a life-time warranty too. You will join the fastest growing and most successful group of franchisees in the United States. We have opened over 100 locations in the past 12 months. We will be finished franchising nationwide and in Canada by the Fall of 2008. Your territory is exclusive and protected. You will have the most advanced state-of-the-art sales, marketing, purchasing, and accounting system in the industry. Your prices are extremely competitive because 1-800-Radiator has the best buying power in the industry. Training is thorough and the constant support from corporate is always available-call any of our current Owners to hear what they have to say. Also, we can quickly send you financials and our UFOC, which has P&L statements; showing gross margins, revenue increases by month, net income, etc. At our website you can download this by filling out our Rapid Request Form.

Facilities: You have no inventory risk. Your inventory will never spoil! You will invest in your initial inventory as well as weekly shipments to replenish your supply. You can rest assured with the famous 1-800-Radiator DW program, any excess inventory will be made available to over 200 other franchisees, insuring maximum turns on your product.

Competition: For specifics on the competition and market potential, contact us to set up a Competitor Profile. Together we make 3-way phone calls to the customers and competitors in your territory-sizing them up with our robust marketing tools. Also, the competition lacks the ability to foster customer relationships that you, the owner, will develop. You have the nimble power with our advanced web-based sales and marketing system, whereas they have to thumb through old-fashioned, bulky catalogs.

Growth/Expansion: You will like our expansion model, because you expand as we expand. Instead of adding new locations, you will penetrate your market as we add more product lines for you to sell. You can be enormously successful with nothing but radiators; however, you will be part of our continuing product expansion program. In the last 6 months we successfully integrated; fan assemblies, gas tanks, lamps, mirrors and the rest of the HVAC parts are scheduled in approx 6 months. Later we d like to add starters and alternators.

Financing: Check out our website for details

Support/Training: You will train with us until you are an expert. Your initial training takes a week. You will also have on-going training from your radiator technical and sales experts. Your training covers all aspects of the radiator business including product knowledge, sales, purchasing, inventory control, accounting, operations, delivery and customer service.
