WHO ARE WE

 Our founder started opening Other Mothers' stores in 1979, and she and her family have opened and operated  family-owned stores in five states. We've started to franchise our business system and currently have franchise stores in several states and Canada. The business system we originated is proven and well-established, but we're a small corporation. If you feel that you would be comfortable dealing with a small company, then please contact us to find out more about becoming an Other Mothers franchise owner.

Our small size is an advantage for you:

We don't have to support a large staff or a large corporate office. Our low overhead is reflected in our moderate franchise and royalty fees.

Our small size lets you deal directly with someone that can make corporate decisions. We can and do give our franchisees a lot of personal attention.

Because we're small ourselves, we know the importance of making every dollar count. We keep your startup costs to a minimum while helping you avoid cutting the wrong corners.

Our President has opened and operated Other Mothers stores, which makes us very aware of the problems a store owner can face. We know we have to keep our royalties moderate so you don't have to give too little to the people you buy from and charge too much to the people you sell to.

Stores owned both by our franchise owners and by our family have competed very successfully with big franchise stores and the best of the local competition.

Here is what some OTHER MOTHERS store owners say about us:

There's no way I could have done it without Other Mothers. I wouldn't have had the courage or the know how.---Tamara and Dion Haught, Store opened Oct 95, Spokane, WA

Without OTHER MOTHERS we would have no idea how to set up the store, collect inventory, run the books, keep inventory flowing, and build a customer base. Their system works and the customers love it. I love it!----Cathryn and Guy Herman, Store opened Jun 96, Tacoma, WA

As a husband and wife team, we enjoy working together. We never get tired of this business!!!-- --Val and Nancy Batteen, Store opened Jul 92, Boise, ID

We are having so much fun with this business, and it has exceeded all our financial expectations. ---Laureen and Randy Rusin, Store opened Jul 98, Stevens Point, WI
