If you are looking for information on the Sure Step franchise business opportunity, Sure Step franchises or Sure Step franchising, then you have come to the right place.
On a rainy day, the entranceway of every store and office building becomes a danger zone - for customers and staff. Every marble floor that has just been mopped, every kitchen in every restaurant or school cafeteria; every bathtub in every hotel, every washroom floor with a few drops of water - all these places and more are legal battlefields.
Sure Step is the answer to wet dangerous floors that business owners are looking for. There is no better solution. Period.
Interlake Chemicals is pleased to offer you the exciting and profitable Sure Step Distributorship Program. A Sure Step floor increases the coefficient of friction when a floor or surface gets wet. The result is that your foot will no longer slip out from under you. The higher coefficient of friction makes it dramatically more slip-resistant - and therefore, safer.
The potential market for slip and fall protection is endless. Every floor and bathtub represents another customer.
Our distributors have made sales to every type of business on this list:
We limit the number of distributorships we sell in any area. And we give it to you in writing. In a medium-sized city - you could be the only Sure Step distributor.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
