The company maintains a strong focus on giving back to the local community, and was recognized by the International Franchise Association's Franchise Education & Research Foundation's Franchising Gives Back Awards. The brand was founded by entrepreneurs Cathy Deano and Renee Maloney, two friends with a knack for organizing communities and a passion for giving back. Nationally, guests have painted more than 10 million paintings at studios throughout the country since Painting with a Twist started franchising in 2009. Painting with a Twist, based in the New Orleans, Louisiana metropolitan area is the original and leading paint and sip franchise with over 250 studios open or in development in 39 states. It includes Painting with a Twist, America's original and largest paint-and-sip franchise brand Color Me Mine, the originator in contemporary paint-your-own ceramics and Chesapeake Ceramics, a leading global ceramics supplier. Twist Brands was formed as the parent company and dominant leader in the growing Arts & Crafts as entertainment vertical. "The additional revenue streams for our franchisees are exciting for our brand and I am looking forward to collaborating with our owners to continue the momentum we are seeing in the space right now," added Bigley. Also on the horizon for the brands are several exciting national marketing partnerships. After temporary studio closures as a result of the pandemic, Color Me Mine sales have rebounded to within single digits of 2019 numbers. The brand also debuted virtual live painting events that will stay long-term, as well as launching a new event format called Paint Pour, which has already seen success as the No. Painting with a Twist this year introduced Twist at Home as a new product line, offering at-home paint kits to guests with video instructions included. With the return of in-person events nationwide, Twist Brands is in a strong position coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. I am excited to lead our franchisees as they create the lasting memories our guests have come to know us for across the country. "Twist Brands is in the position right now to come out on top with events that appeal to a broad range of guests, all who are craving important social interaction. "As we emerge from months of isolation during the pandemic, I think as a society we are realizing how much we thrive on that carefree escape and socialization with friends," said Bigley.
