Why Budget Blinds? Founded in 1992 with a unique "direct-to-the-customer" convenience concept, Budget Blinds is now the largest growing window covering company of its kind in the country. Currently our company has a network of over 225 franchises in 36 states, and we have just recently adopted an aggressive franchise development program designed to expand into remaining key markets in the continental United States.

Number One in the category! Budget Blinds first began limited franchising in 1994, and in just one year, Entrepreneur Magazine recognized Budget Blinds as the number one window covering franchise opportunity in the industry. Budget Blinds has continued earning the number one ranking for the last six consecutive years!

During the early years in the industry, BudgetBlinds founders discovered that customers were becoming more and more concerned about their free time. Working full-time, raising children,
having hobbies, sports, and household projects, people did not have much time to shop, especially for things like window coverings. To meet this consumer demand for convenience-oriented products and services, Budget Blinds Inc. set itself apart from other retail window coverning companies by developing a unique way for customers to "shop at home."

Offering free in-home design consultations, measuring and professional installation, Budget Blinds make it quick and easy for customers to obtain quality name-brand window coverings at highly competitive prices--without ever leaving home!
