Andy's Parties

Thinking about becoming an Andy's Parties franchisee?

Are you an energetic professional who has an entrepreneurial spirit but hates the idea of sitting behind a desk pushing paper? Do you love working with children, but are not interested in the 9-5, Monday to Friday routine?

Andy's Parties offers a flexible and fun opportunity to operate a business, selling fun-filled parties and happy memories to children and their families. Our full-service events are designed to allow Mom and Dad to enjoy their child's party without the worry of planning and running it. Our standardized format allows you to easily train staff to deliver great parties time and time again. You will be delighted and rewarded each time a birthday child tells you it was their greatest party ever, and when the parents tell you how relieved they are that you were there.

We have been thrilled (and a little proud) to see how quickly Andy's Parties has grown to become the premier party company in the DC area. From the beginning, Andy's Parties' goal has been to offer our outstanding services to as many families as possible through a network of outstanding franchisees. If your dream is to build a rewarding business for yourself while providing happiness and memories for children (and their families) every week, take the first step and complete our Contact Page now.

Sincerely,
Andy and Paula Ross

Andy's Parties caters to professional, high-end clients who expect the very best for their children. Consequently, we carefully select franchisees who possess three important qualities: tons of energy, strong organizational skills, and of course, a desire to make every child's birthday party a memorable event. Each party is the most important day, ever, for the child's family. So it is critical that our franchisees possess a strong attention to detail and the ability to execute flawlessly (while always smiling)!

We do not require any prior business experience or specific educational background. We recognize that entrepreneurs come in all makes and models! However, you must demonstrate a commitment to building the business to its full potential in your territory through a combination of hard work, energy, and execution.
