About Us
The Glove Guy & The Glove Lady LLC Safety Equipment Franchise, was founded in 2004 and is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The founders saw the opportunity to apply an innovative marketing approach and a unique branding concept to a very large and highly fragmented market niche of safety erquipment sales. Marrying the concepts of mobility and engaging personal service, with the income generation possible in an open, multi-billion dollar business segment, lead to the formation of The Glove Guy & The Glove Lady.
The company’s mission is to provide our customers with excellent service, quality products and an engaging and fun buying experience. We are committed to giving our franchisees the tools and resources to assist them in making their territory a success. What Separates Us From the Competition...
As a Franchise owner, you have tremendous earning potential and can offer a variety of products that many customers need and very often are required to use because of industry or legislative requirements. Your customers will associate you with excellent products that protect them from the many specific hazards present in literally millions of U.S businesses.
In addition, they will appreciate the convenience of purchasing from you because you will be bringing the “store” to them. Customers in certain businesses, like a construction site or machine shop, for example, will anticipate and look forward to the scheduled visit from The Glove Guy!
You have many opportunities to up-sell your customers, as you will carry an excellent selection of gloves (some go for $60+ a pair!), safety goggles, foot protection, hard hats, safety vests, and cooling bandanas, to name a few! You can custom imprint gardening gloves, all-purpose work gloves, safety smocks, visors and more! You can imprint gloves specifically for your school or college athletics department…the possibilities are endless. The limit is truly your imagination. The Benefits
