ATLANTA – Merely two years after launching its franchise program, Flip Flop Shops is continuing to expose its toes and “flip-ping out” about the signing of its 50th franchise agreement.



“The signing of our 50th shop proves that there are droves of people just as passionate about freeing their toes as we are,” said Brian Curin, the President (Size 10) of Flip Flop Shops. “By focusing on doing right by our franchisees, consumers and the hottest brands we carry, we are continuing to grow what has become a breakthrough brand with a cult-like following. We are super stoked about hitting this milestone and look forward to the future growth of our brand.”



At a time when 1/3 of all small business startups fail during the first two years and less than half make it to four years*, Flip Flop Shops, North America’s first retail chain exclusive to the hottest brands and latest styles of flip flops and sandals, has defied the odds and grown its franchise system at a record pace. Since 2008, the growing brand has received nearly 5,000 franchise applications, generated more than $1 million in franchise fees and opened 12 shops throughout the United States, Guam and Canada.
