Does Creative Colors have any purchasing or distribution cooperatives?

According to Creative Colors's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Creative Colors does not have any purchasing or distribution cooperatives. However, Creative Colors does try to negotiate pricing with its approved suppliers for better buying power and discounts for its franchisees.

Creative Colors provides franchisees with a list of approved manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors, as well as a list of approved inventory products, equipment, signs, stationery, supplies, chemicals, products, merchandise, and other items or services necessary to operate the franchised business. These lists are provided in the Operations Manual and may be revised at Creative Colors's discretion. Franchisees are required to notify Creative Colors in writing if they propose to use any brand of product or purchase from a supplier not on the approved lists, and Creative Colors will test the items and review the supplier's information before granting approval.

While franchisees must purchase Proprietary Products from Creative Colors, they can purchase or lease mobile units from any source. In 2024, Creative Colors's revenue from the sale of inventory to franchisees was $368,511, representing 15.22% of its total revenues. Revenue from mobile unit leases was $5,941, or 0.25% of total revenue. Franchisees can expect to spend 15% to 23% of their overall purchases on supplies, equipment, inventory, and other items from approved sources when establishing the franchised business, and 3-8% when operating the business.
