Year began: 1971    Franchising since: 1975
In its national studies, The Great Frame Up found that the average American has 23 pieces of art on his or her walls and eight pieces waiting to be framed.

Started in Chicago, The Great Frame Up opened its first location in the Lincoln Park neighborhood in 1971 and started franchising four years later. Their primary customers are women from mid- to upper-income households.

Stores include a vertical viewing board for seeing the art as it would appear on a wall with various mat and frame selections. Full service options allow customers to frame pieces themselves or have staff members do it for them. The stores carry in-stock frames, mats, glass, framed art, unframed posters and prints, catalogs with thousands of prints and ready-made frames.

The Great Frame Up is part of Franchise Concepts Inc., a group that includes Ashley Avery's Collectibles, Deck The Walls and Framing & Art Centre.
