Nolte Küchen
For nearly 70 years, Nolte Küchen have combined German precision and exquisite design to create kitchens that look like a dream, work like a charm and feel like home.
We make kitchens that aren’t kitchens. They’re places to talk about the day ahead — or the day that’s just been. They’re places of music, arguments, romance, laughter. They’re places that transform a house into your home.
Yes, a Nolte kitchen is made with meticulous German engineering and is tailored to customer’s precise requirements. But they’re not just kitchens. They’re where life happens.
Our expert designers utilise our 35 kitchen ranges, 200 door front options and a host of the best worktops and smart appliances to design kitchens that are made just for our customers.
Become a Nolte Kitchen Franchise
Further to our highly successful entry into direct-to-consumer retail in the UK market in 2021, Nolte Kitchens UK (the UK distributor for Nolte Küchen) is targeting rapid expansion through the launch of our new franchise model.
Building on our longstanding German heritage and strong brand presence with 15 showrooms in premium high-street locations after only launching in the UK in 2021, we’re offering an exceptional opportunity for franchise partners to team up with a tried-and-tested business with a 65-year history.
If you’re an experienced entrepreneur looking for your next challenge or a kitchen designer wanting to be your own boss, we want to hear from you.
And with the opportunity to have a more fulfilling career and achieve genuine financial freedom, we think you’ll want to hear from us, too.
Extensive support
Nolte franchise partners will benefit from a business model that generates cash flow quickly, a high gross margin on products (and a high turnover per showroom square metre), even potentially matching Nolte’s top showrooms that turn over more than £1 million a year after two years. Partners can look forward to a realistic three-year turnover of £500k-£2 million, with typical first-year running costs of £100k-£125k, and holding little in the way of stock means cash flow is freed up. Very little infrastructure is required, as franchisees will use Nolte’s logistics and warehousing, plus only a few employees are needed per showroom.
The Nolte team will help franchisees create an engaging retail space that encourages interest, earns customer trust, and sells the dream of owning a breathtaking kitchen. The brand uses tried-and-tested layouts to make things easy when setting up a showroom but can also be very flexible to accommodate any bespoke requirements or suggestions. Dedicated teams will help partners find the perfect location, support with the design, build and fit-out of partners’ showrooms and provide support for managing showroom openings and ongoing fit-outs.
Upon completion of a franchise contract agreement, new partners will embark on a 3-week training programme which is split into two modules. Module one, a one-week course, will encompass brand and value, franchise partnership, Nolte systems and more while module two, a two-week course, covers topics such as product knowledge, sales, retail excellence and after-sales service. E-learning in between modules will look at areas such as leadership, materials and designers.
Partners can expect a high level of continued support from Nolte’s retail teams and designated operations team once up and running, including order processing, finance, HR and marketing.
