Not The Earth!
JOIN HEMPIRE® - an expanding franchise of ECOboutiques specializing in affordable,
trendy, earth-conscious products ranging from emollient bath & beauty, to fashionwear & accessories,

products. In fact, industrial hemp enjoys a starring role in HEMPIRE®s exciting product line-up because it is
one of the Earth’s most versatile, naturally organic, resistant & renewable resources.

opportunity, allowing franchisees to capitalize on significant trends of responsible consumerism, ECOretailing
& ECOfranchising. Franchisees enjoy weak-to-no competition in their markets plus the opportunity to
franchise multiple stores. Many untapped markets remain available across Canada & beyond. If you are
passionate about ECOretailing in unsaturated markets within a proven business structure, then HEMPIRE®
may be the right franchise choice for you!
HEED OUR WARNING LABEL: WE ARE TRULY DIFFERENT FROM THE
REST!
Benefit from a multi-prong branding strategy that includes an exciting new website along with a logo
makeover that incorporates not only a fresh colour palette inspired by the earth, the sky and Canada’s
majestic monarch butterfly, but also the motto by which we live everyday: Sustainable
Indulgence™. Unlike other brands whose motto is artificial or “designed,” ours organically reflects
our objective to spoil our customers, not their pocketbooks or the Earth. Everything about the HEMPIRE®
brand – our mission, our philosophy, our product selection, our business practices – is living proof of our
daily commitment to our customers, our planet and our good corporate citizenship! Innovative customer
incentives & Rewards encouraging store traffic & repeat visits have been introduced to show our appreciation
of our valued customers.

franchisees with a proven business system, effective training, grand-opening marketing kit, brand marketing
power, volume purchasing power with pre-approved suppliers & ongoing support. A new fantastic store plan
is in the works that will take the guesswork out of store design & merchandising. Benefit from our latest &
