Why Franchise Instead of Expanding Into Every City Ourselves?
Our goal is to create meaningful impact at scale. We continue to open and operate our own studios, but there are many attractive regional and emerging markets where a strong local operator is better positioned to succeed.
Success in these communities depends on understanding local neighborhoods, customer expectations, and the character of the market. We believe the right local partners are the best people to bring Pottery Studio 1 to life in new cities.
Proven Across a Wide Range of Markets
Our studios perform well across coastal, seasonal, major urban, and fast-growing regional markets—demonstrating that the concept can succeed in many different locations.
Four-Season Markets
Examples: Chicago, Toronto, and Boston
Major Urban Markets
Examples: New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas
High-Growth Regional Markets
Examples: Houston, Austin, and Denver
Local insight. Strong relationships. Stronger communities.
That’s how we grow together.

Year-Round Demand
The concept works across seasons and supports both one-time visits and recurring participation.
