The vendor opportunity at That 1 Painter
The That 1 Painter system counts 323 locations: 315 franchised and 8 company-owned, the latter operated by an affiliate, part of ResiBrands' strategic multi-brand portfolio alongside Pink's Franchising. Franchised outlets grew 16.2% year over year. Royalty runs at 6.0% of sales over a 10-year initial term, and the 2026 FDD includes an Item 19 financial performance representation.
Who controls software purchasing
Officers named in the filing include CEO and Founder Steven Montgomery, Brand President Tyler Colby, General Counsel Anthony Sutter, SVP of Marketing, Innovation & Growth Connor Charland, and VP of Marketing Benjamin Garrett. The mapped operator base runs 138 operators across 138 located units, led by Texas (25), Florida (15), North Carolina (10), Tennessee (7) and Virginia (6). With a franchise agreement requiring franchisor-specified equipment before opening, the technology decision sits at headquarters.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Every franchisee is required to have an internet-capable laptop computer, smartphone, tablet or iPad able to run the latest versions of the software and computer platforms That 1 Painter requires. Before opening, a franchisee must acquire all equipment, computer systems, software, applications and the vehicle the franchisor requires, and must sign documents allowing That 1 Painter to independently and electronically access and retrieve information stored in the franchisee's computer system. Franchisees must also use the software That 1 Painter designates, pay its Technology Fee, and use GuildFRM, currently the required Franchise Relationship Management system. They may not maintain a business profile on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or YouTube without That 1 Painter's prior written approval.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
That 1 Painter's Item 8 model is designated suppliers or specifications: franchisees must buy all equipment, inventory, supplies and services from designated suppliers and contractors or to the franchisor's specifications, drawn from written lists it maintains and updates. That sourcing is estimated at 20% to 31% of setup costs and 18% to 25% of ongoing operating costs. Franchisees may propose an alternate supplier for approval, though failing to use approved items or designated suppliers can be a default under the Franchise Agreement. The initial term is 10 years, with a 10-year successor term for franchisees in good standing who give ten months' notice and pay a Successor Agreement Fee equal to 10% of the current initial franchise fee.
