Despite Covid-19 challenges related to in-person meetings, Decorating Den Interiors franchisees rebounded in the second half of the year and produced six consecutive months of record-setting sales.
“With all the concerns and challenges Covid-19 has created, it also has fostered a focus on family and home,” said James S. Bugg, Jr. CEO and President of the Easton, Md.-based company. “This focus on the home has sparked a tremendous surge in remodeling and decorating projects. In the second half of 2020, our franchisees saw an incredible 40% increase in sales compared to the same period in 2019. Forty-Three franchisees had their highest sales ever and we added 15 new ones during the year.”
