Refranchising made easy with a dedicated support team


When you become an Expedia CruiseShipCenters franchise owner you become our partner. Our partnership means we’re in this together, from the moment you sign your franchise agreement to the day you’re ready to sell your Center – for a profit. Beginning with our dedicated Start-Up team to guide you through launching your Center and our knowledgeable Refranchise team specializing in supporting Franchise Partners through the process of selling your business.

Determining your Long-term Goals

At Expedia CruiseShipCenters we begin discussing your long-term plan before you even become a Franchise Partner. When you enter into franchise ownership you’re embarking on an investment that one day you’ll want to sell for a healthy profit! For some it’s a long-term plan, helping them foray into retirement by either developing a trusted Office Manager to operate when they’re vacationing or bringing on their millennial children to purchase the business over time. Some Franchise Partners plan to sell the business in a certain number of years, so their goal is to propel growth faster than others. In this case, they work full time building the business while cultivating their team to produce and hit targets, so the business is attractive to any incoming buyer as it’s on an upward trajectory.

With the growing popularity of entrepreneurship and small business optimism over the last several years, finding a buyer of has become easier. Starting a business from scratch has many commitments and it can sometimes be overwhelming especially for first-time entrepreneurs. However, opening and operating a franchised business can ease this transition with the security of a proven system and reliable support team. Buying an existing franchise that is already in operation can further eliminate any reservations you might have.

Guidance from a Dedicated Support Team

Purchasing an existing franchise business has some significant advantages which can propel growth faster than a startup. An established Expedia CruiseShipCenters has leveraged our proven system and offers a new owner a built-in customer base. Clients know what to expect from your business because they recognize the brand and trust the service they have been provided. Additionally, the support, training and infrastructure are already in place allowing the transition to a new owner to be smoother and more efficient.

When the time comes, you’ll work with our expert team to guide you through our Refranchise Program. The process is designed to both recognize the contributions made by the existing Franchise Partner and to ensure the incoming Franchise Partner is set up for continued success.

Your Refranchise Manager will help to pair you with potential buyers and choose someone who is the right fit for all parties and whom you’re going to enter a negotiation with. From beginning to end of selling your Center your Expedia CruiseShipCenters Refranchise Manager will keep both parties on track, provide relevant documentation and guidance throughout the entire process. Additionally, once the sale is complete we will direct and manage all communication to suppliers while the new owner gets acquainted with your team and works through our Franchise Partner training academy with their dedicated Onboarding Coach.
