After opening more than 40 company-owned stores, Groove Accessories is planning to franchise its stores.

In just over four years – the first store opened in Carindale in 2003 – the number of Groove stores has increased to over 40 across Australia and now the company plans to strengthen this growth via franchising its stores in most states.

Groove Accessories is the brainchild of Crazy Clark’s founder Peter Clark and is a one-stop-shop for fashion-conscious consumers.

Clark said Groove Accessories was a destination store for women aged 15 to 25 looking for the latest trends straight from the catwalk.

“Groove Accessories is a one-stop shop for lifestyle fashion and accessories. We have buyers perfectly positioned in the world’s fashion hubs, which enables us to stay abreast of evolving fashion trends and quickly adapt our product range.

“To own a Groove Accessories franchise a passion for fashion and a desire to create a fun and buoyant shopping experience is a must. We provide an extensive franchisee training program and on-going support,” he added.
