Start Your Own Disney Store
Have you been planning on opening a Disney store and looking for information on how you could do it? We have an essential guide on where and how to get a license to distribute Disney-branded merchandise like soft lines, toys, home decor, stationeries, personal products, electronic items, and many more!
If you want to own a Disney store, you'd usually consider franchising. It's not a remote possibility, but you'd not find Disney store franchising opportunities as much as you would expect.
Disney Store Licensing Overview
Chances are you’ve read about Disney entering into license agreements with global entertainment companies and other known names in the industry. Those articles would usually involve a store and a chain of stores. This is so because Disney is expensive to franchise as an international brand. Naturally, being the world's largest licensor, posting multi-billion dollars in global retail sales. Since the first Disney store in Glendale, California, in 1987, Disney stores are now worldwide. The process is also complex, and you’d most likely undergo training to run such a famed shop. And after going through a lot of paperwork on a proposal to become a Disney licensee, Disney management reserves the right to accept or reject your application based on their judgment.
Getting Disney Store Licensing Information
If you are interested in becoming a Disney licensee, visit the Web site of the Disney Consumer Products -- the part of The Walt Disney Company that brings the Disney brand available as merchandise -- to know the requirements to become a licensee. An application for a Disney store license would require, among others, that your company has at least five years of experience in manufacturing, distribution, and retailing and the same years of experience in retailing the category of product you wish to license. You'd have to describe your company extensively, including your scope, size, annual revenue, and whether you hold other licenses. You’d also have to provide information about company executives and a proposal on how you intend to conduct a Disney store operation.

I am 100% sure it would work really good in Sweden. Can you please give me all information. Your sincerely Massimo Drusian
My friend and I, would be grateful if you could inform us about the terms and the franchise policies of having the exclusiveness of a Disney store in our country. What are the requirements that someone has to have in order to open this store here? The operating capital and the franchise terms are the basic things we would like to learn at the beginning, in order to have the exclusiveness of such a store here in Belgrade? Thank you very much in advance. Kindest regards, Milos Raicevic
