Three decades strong and growing...

Bedshed is a well-established specialist bedding and bedroom furniture franchise with a long history of satisfied customers and successful franchisees. The first Bedshed store opened in Western Australia in 1980 and we began franchising two years later. From its quirky beginnings selling waterbeds, Bedshed has grown into the major player it is today, with 40 stores across the country.

Helps me live a better lifestyle...

We are looking for people who are committed to working collaboratively and partnering with a franchisor to secure their business success. All franchisee partners can be confident in the knowledge there will always be a demand for quality beds and bedroom furniture.

Bedshed’s franchisee partners have genuine input into the business and that’s why, for example, we have a unique imports program allowing franchisees to participate in product selection. Our franchisee partners are encouraged to join us on overseas buying trips, giving them an opportunity to help select products and forge closer relationships with their counterparts around the country.

One of the benefits of running your own show is the ability to take charge of your future and achieve the lifestyle you want. For some, that could mean having the flexibility to collect the kids from school while for others it’s the financial freedom to holiday in Europe.

Proven processes combined with constant evolution as a market-leader...

We’re different from other specialist bedding franchises. Our fresh and cheeky approach stands out, and our relaxed and transparent culture is attractive to those who are looking for a franchise where they will be treated as equals. Our franchise model is accredited with major banks, Westpac and Bankwest, so you can rest easy. Bedshed is led by a professional management team and supported by a network of experienced franchisee partners who collaborate for success.

In a first for the industry, Bedshed launched the Bedshed Franchise Calculator at the end of 2011. Designed to help people considering purchasing a franchise to compare the various options, the calculator is the first easy-to-use tool to help potential franchisees consider the benefits of the many franchises available for purchase.

The Bedshed Franchise Calculator examines a range of data to provide an initial profit estimate and long term estimated profit projection for each franchise being considered. The calculator simply analyses data on any franchise in any industry – it is not just a tool for those considering Bedshed. The Bedshed Franchise Calculator is one example of our drive to constantly innovate and remain a market leader.

Right for you, today and tomorrow...

Our franchisee partners enjoy excellent income potential and ongoing support and training. They benefit from a national advertising and marketing program, bulk buying power and a strong, well-established brand.

Bedshed could be the right franchise for you. For a confidential discussion about Bedshed or to obtain more detailed information on the franchise opportunity, please contact Bedshed’s National Development Manager, Rod Parker on 03 9439 5594 or 0419 494 480.
