Prime Territories: With available territories in some of the fastest-growing markets, there’s ample space and demand to establish your franchise. Better yet, thanks to designated territories, you’ll be able to collaborate and share best practices with other Glass Doctor locations instead of compete for the same customers.

Ideal Candidate

Our franchise owners come from all walks of life. Some have held positions in corporate environments and are looking for a career change, while others have worked in the industry and are looking to lead their own business. No matter their background, our franchise owners embody characteristics such as:

  • Entrepreneurial spirit driven to set and achieve goals
  • Desire to build genuine relationships with customers, employees, and other franchisees
  • Commitment to delivering consistent, high-quality service
  • Accountable to financial responsibilities and requirements

The culture across the entire family of brands is embodied by the Neighborly Code of Values, which emphasizes the importance of fostering a set of ideals that guide the organization. These elements, while small to some, set Neighborly and Glass Doctor franchise owners apart from the competition.
