Hi Tracy,

I’m excited to announce an incredible business opportunity for a capable entrepreneur. After five successful & fulfilling years, we are looking for a new owner for the successful Just Between Friends Kirkwood/Arnold franchise territory.

The Kirkwood/Arnold territory is recognized as a Top Achieving Sale with five years of consecutive & substantial growth within the JBF Franchise System. With inflation rates increasing at an all time high, the resale market has never been stronger and the outlook for being a JBF franchise owner is exciting!

Due to unforeseen family circumstances over the last year, we feel it is time to focus our time & energy on our family. Since we purchased the franchise, we have met many people in our community and have developed new friendships. Selling the business is truly bittersweet as we will miss seeing our loyal shoppers and meeting new ones. Our desire is for families to continue to be blessed by selling & shopping with JBFKA.

We’re looking for an owner (individual or partnership) with a great attitude, skills & experience, who have a desire to own their own company, care for our community, and carry on the tradition of excellence with JBF Kirkwood/Arnold. Could the new owner be YOU?
JBFKA is positioned for CONTINUED growth!

We purchased Just Between Friends Kirkwood/Arnold franchise in 2018. Throughout the last 5 years I have been able to work from home with a flexible schedule, support my family and give back to the community in a meaningful way.

You can have the same! As a new JBF owner, you will have extensive hands on training at another JBF franchise, as well as a series of online training courses to ensure that you are prepared to host your first event. In addition to this training you will have;

  • Strong support from fellow owners
  • Personal Success Coach
  • Annual National JBF Conference
  • Owner Facebook Communication Groups
  • Year-round brainstorming and idea-sharing
  • Multiple learning opportunities discussing varying topics that are held via zoom each month

Just Between Friends has been featured in a wide variety of national and local media outlets, including the Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS Early Show, CNN & Inside Edition, KSAT12, Consignment Mommies and more!

The Kirkwood/Arnold territory has an experienced, dedicated and enthusiastic team from cashiers and greeters, to supervisors and merchandisers, etc. Our team knows how to host a successful event and they enjoy serving the community!

This is a turn-key business opportunity in a thriving resale market.
A 27' enclosed trailer, equipment, signage and a document with all the sale processes are included with the franchise. Please reach out if you are interested in learning more about this business opportunity.
