ColorTyme vs Aaron's and Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership
Two franchise systems, side by side. For a software vendor, they are not the same opportunity.
Aaron’s and Aaron’s Sales & Lease Ownership is the only rational choice here, and it’s not close. The TAM dimension alone is overwhelming: 1,162 total units and 224 franchised locations create a meaningful pipeline of independent operators who need POS, scheduling, and back-office tools. ColorTyme’s 18 franchised units — all of them — offers a ceiling that’s barely a rounding error. Even with zero unit growth, Aaron’s existing franchisee base is over 12x larger, giving a vendor multiple shots at multi-location deals and reference accounts that can unlock the rest of the system. That’s a real addressable market; ColorTyme is a micro-cap footprint that won’t support a dedicated sales motion.
