Your dream of owning a successful business in a growing industry is now within
your reach. Plaster Fun Time offers a proven concept and a system that works.
The franchise support team of Plaster Fun Time has spent 12 years building
and refining the drop-in painting concept for children. Our goal as franchisor
is
to build and maintain a system that supports the franchisees' hard work. Our
system gives the franchisee the freedom to focus on pleasing the customer.
Franchising now represents 40% of the entire retail market. The arts and crafts
retail industry is now larger than $26 billion and growing. Child-focused
retail and entertainment is growing faster than any other segment in this industry.
Plaster fun Time is already among the largest child-focused drop-in painting
chain in the country. Because Plaster Fun Time essentially invented the concept,
we have had to develop all of the child-oriented material in our stores. Our
retail expertise, buying power, information technology, and business support
make Plaster Fun Time the leader among companies in our sector. A dedicated
Plaster Fun Time franchisee is perfectly positioned to own and operate one
of the most
exciting and successful concepts in the industry today.
We look for franchisees who have a passionate dedication to customer service.

In 1995, Nancy Selvaggi and her partners wanted to create a place where children
and their families could come in and relax. They created Plaster Fun Time as
a way for children to have fun by expressing themselves through painting. During
the following 12 years, Nancy and her team opened more stores to test the process
and discover which locations and processes were most successful. Plaster Fun
Time, Inc. carefully developed figurines that children enjoy, materials that
are safe and easy to use, and management and staff that are ideally suited
to the needs of children and their families. Offering their successful model
to
franchisees was a natural step in extending the success of the original concept.
Plaster Fun Time has developed an easy to follow, step by step guide to make
your franchise experience a successful one. Our franchise program offers clear
guidance at every point along the way to owning and operating your own Plaster
Fun Time retail facility. You success will be a product of your dedication
along with the benefits of Plaster Fun Time’s business experience, products,
purchasing power, process support and successful practices.
