Franchise Fact: Matco Tools has ranked in the Top 50 Franchise 500 by Entrepreneur Magazine for 19 consecutive years.

Matco Distributor Plus+

While the majority of Matco Tools Franchisees operate their business as an owner-operator, Matco also has a program for those with even greater ambition. The Matco Distributor Plus+ multi-store program offers successful franchisees the opportunity to become the owner of several stores within an area.

A New Way To Grow

Matco Franchisees can own up to 3 stores as an owner-operator, or up to 5 stores as a full-time owner-investor.

As the owner of a single franchise, Matco Distributors also act as the operators of their business. Their responsibilities include all business activities from inventory management to in-person service at automotive shops. However, as a Franchisee acquires a second or even third store, their role as the operator begins to transition. Time spent on day-to-day activities decreases as the manager role over employees who operate trucks #2 and #3 increases.

Owning Stores 4 And 5

After starting Franchises #4 And #5, a Matco Franchisee may acquire enough franchise licenses, employees, and exclusive territory to step away from daily operation of a store. At this stage the owner transitions into an executive role over their own franchise group.
