About Town Money Saver

With various locations, Town Money Saver is a direct-mail publication featuring stores and advertisers every month. Town Money Saver's mission is to provide affordable, effective advertising for local businesses to help them compete with larger national chains. 

Founded in 1992, Town Money Saver started in Ohio. Since beginning to franchise in 2005, Town Money Saver now spans multiple states and reaches millions of homes each year. With several dozen franchises open across the U.S., your Town Money Saver franchise could be next.

Why You May Want to Start a Town Money Saver Franchise

Town Money Saver is looking for franchisees who are dedicated to outstanding service, family-friendly, hungry for growth, and involved in their community. The ideal candidate is resourceful, timely, dedicated, and persistent. If this tenacious spirit of ingenuity sounds like you, then beginning the process of opening a Town Money Saver franchise may be easier than ever.

Town Money Saver is structured to provide franchisees with the tools and management knowledge to produce a monthly community publication effectively. No storefront, inventory, or employees are required to open in a particular market, and the rewards are based solely on your performance. The Town Money Saver team may handle franchisees' graphic coordination, printing, and mailing allowing franchisees to focus on customer relationships. 

What Might Make a Town Money Saver Franchise a Good Choice?

Opening a Town Money Saver franchise may offer a more predictable outcome than investing in a completely new brand that may struggle to thrive in an already crowded and competitive industry. 

Town Money Saver also offers an incentive in the form of money off the first printing bill to veterans.

The term of agreement for a Town Money Saver franchise lasts for ten years. Your contract may be renewable after those ten years if you fulfill the qualifications put forth by the Town Money Saver corporate team.

How To Open a Town Money Saver Franchise

To be part of the Town Money Saver team, you should make sure you're financially ready for an initial investment made up of a franchise fee and other startup costs. 

As you decide if opening a Town Money Saver franchise is the right move for you, make sure you take time to explore the opportunity. Research the brand and your local area to see if a Town Money Saver franchise would do well in your community. While competition is healthy, too much of it may not allow for the most possible growth.

Before making any financial commitment or signing an agreement, you must perform your due diligence and establish if this is the right opportunity for you. As part of your due diligence, you may want to speak to existing franchisees and ask the Town Money Saver franchising team questions.

It may also be a good idea to speak with an attorney or financial advisor to ensure that you have the necessary financial resources to own and operate a Town Money Saver franchise.
