“Pinot's Palette”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

As of January 2018, Pinot’s Palette has over 140 stores in 31 states, plus one location in Toronto.^[5]

History

Pinot’s Palette was founded in 2009 by business partners Craig Ceccanti, Charles Willis, and Beth Willis. Ceccanti says he got the idea for starting the business after he attended a painting class in Louisiana with his family.^[6]

The first Pinot’s Palette studio opened in Houston’s Montrose neighborhood in 2009.^[7] The studio was originally named “Pinot and Picasso.” The name was changed to “Pinot’s Palette” in 2010.^[8]

After opening two additional locations in the Houston area, the company began franchising. The first franchised Pinot’s Palette studio opened in Katy, Texas in 2010.^[4] Since then, the company has expanded nationwide.^[3]

In June 2016, Pinot’s Palette launched a rebranding effort, which introduced a new logo, and updated studio décor.^[9]

Operations and Financials

Pinot’s Palette offers two- or three-hour group painting classes accompanied by wine or cocktails.^[10] Depending on state liquor laws, customers can either bring their own wine or alcoholic beverages or purchase them on-site. The company also offers corporate events and private parties.^[11]

Start-up cost for a Pinot’s Palette franchise is around $100,000.^[10] The company does not require franchisees to have backgrounds in wine or art.^[4]
