Alegerea de a deschide o franciză Sophia specializată în perdele și draperii în Miami a fost o decizie ușoară pentru mine. După ce am descoperit produsele rafinate ale Sophiei, am fost imediat atrasă de eleganța lor unică. Aducerea Sophiei la Miami a fost o alegere naturală, având în vedere aprecierea orașului pentru estetica frumoasă. Ceea ce a pecetluit tranzacția pentru mine a fost sprijinul și asistența de neegalat pe care Sophia le oferă partenerilor de franciză ca mine, transformând-o într-o experiență fără probleme și plină de satisfacții. Deschiderea unei francize Sophia mi-a permis să combin pasiunea mea pentru design interior cu spiritul meu antreprenorial și sunt încântată să continui să aduc sofisticarea Sophiei în casele din Miami.

Statul Soarelui este inspirația sufletului meu: să îmbrățișez atmosfera de vis a Sofiei, în frumosul oraș Alba Iulia! În căldurosul decembrie al anului 2022, am aplicat marca senină a Sofiei, pictând o nouă carcasă decorativă în castelul nostru. Cu simplitate și grație, atingerea delicată a Sofiei a împodobit oaza noastră liniștită.

"On a September day in 2011, I attended the Bife Bucharest International Furniture Fair, where among the exhibitors, I stumbled upon a stand that immediately caught my attention. It stood out due to its vibrant colors, the unique presentation of products, and the bustling crowd of visitors. Amidst the throng of people eager to touch the fabrics on display, I noticed a poster with a compelling message: "Want a Sophia shop in your town?" That moment marked the beginning of my journey, and today, my collaboration with this network and brand has grown into a close partnership. At this point, I no longer perceive a distinction between a Sophia-owned store and a Sophia franchise."

"I first heard the Sophia commercial on Radio ZU's morning show. Later, I came across posts on Daniel Buzdugan's Facebook page praising the beautiful curtains he had purchased from one of Sophia's shops in Bucharest. Without hesitation, I decided to invest in the midst of the pandemic, taking steps to transition from my previous roles in accounting and management consulting. Though the period was challenging, I found myself captivated by what I discovered and developed a passion for it. With the unwavering support of the Sophia team, who are fully dedicated to their business partners, I embarked on this journey. The people of Constanta warmly welcomed us, and reflecting on my own home decor experiences, I understood why: there truly is no other brand concept like Sophia in Constanta!"

"The idea of opening a franchise in Baia Mare came to me in 2017 while I was decorating my parents' house. Although they still had a few more steps to go through before reaching the fabric part, I persuaded them to order curtains and sheers even before choosing the furniture. I was captivated by the stunning Sophia window display in Cluj and decided that their living room would be adorned with the same fabrics. This was my first encounter with the Sophia concept, and I delved into more details on their website and Facebook page. In 2021, we also opened a store in Cluj, and I am proud to represent Sophia in the city where our journey first began!"

"After turning 31, I was finally able to purchase my own place and move into my new home—a dream come true. It felt like the start of a new chapter, possibly even a new me. It was during this stage of my life that I stumbled upon Sophia by chance. I was searching for the most beautiful curtains and sheers for my home, but I soon realized that I wanted more—that this concept also aligned perfectly with my professional aspirations. The continuously updated collections of curtains and sheers in our stores, coupled with the ongoing support from Sophia Romania's management, were the primary reasons behind my decision to choose and develop the Sophia franchise in Buzău. Additionally, we selected Sophia because, compared to everything else on the market, it felt like we were part of one big family."

“My first encounter with Sophia occurred while I was pursuing my master’s degree in architectural rehabilitation back in 2011. I found my calling as a designer at Sophia, a role that resonated with my passion for decorations, shapes, and colors! As I pursued a career as an architect and graduated from the Faculty of Architecture "G. M. Cantacuzino," my journey crossed with Sophia once again. We collaborated on the decoration of Marira's Inn, a project I designed as an architect. This experience led me to the decision to rejoin Sophia's window decorating team, this time as a franchise owner in Roman!”

"Starting from a passion for construction, architecture and design, I entered the business world with my own carpentry business. But I never forgot that I am a great lover of beauty, refinement and elegance, so a business about 'beauty' was exactly what I needed. I discovered Sophia as a "happy customer" and felt that opening a franchise would complement my business perfectly. The proof that I am happy with the choice I made was the opening of my second Sophia franchise store in Bucharest, Pipera area!".

"There's a little story behind the decision to open a curtain and drapery shop. It all started at the time of redecorating my own home, when for the choice of curtains I went to the BIFE fair at Romexpo, Bucharest. We picked up a flyer from the Sophia stand and have been toying with the idea of opening a franchise ever since. Sophia is not hard to fall in love with."

„ I always thought I had to try something new. But what do curtains and sheers have in common with accounting? It doesn't even matter. The important thing is the end result: I did it! I really liked the concept - I found the Sophia franchise in an internet franchise catalogue. That's when I said that there should be such a beautiful shop in Focșani. And if it will be mine, all the better. And my dream came true. From shopping online on www.sophia-romania.ro to opening my 27th Sophia shop".

"I have long admired the Sophia shop in Pascani and... I took it over! I've worked in several fields - tourism, food, I've already flirted with beauty in the beauty industry, I even owned a beauty salon. But I fell in love with Sophia, initially with the concept and the unique products and then with the people behind them. I decided to take the first step in the shop in Pascani which I took over on a turnkey basis, with the doors open to welcome customers!".

"One evening my husband and I were searching the internet for interior decorating business ideas. We initially found an article about Sophia's franchise and then we read and watched absolutely everything we could find: Youtube, Facebook, blog, etc. That's how we chose and that's how I recommend everyone to choose their business idea: when you find the right one you definitely get a spark, your heart beats faster and you want to get going."

"I accessed an EU-funded project, found Sophia on the internet in an article where I read about - How you can have a franchise in your city -, asked for details, received an email with the business presentation from the franchising director Tiberiu Balinișteanu. From there, all I did was to follow the business plan, and Sophia became a priority for us, seeing it as an enjoyable business, where communication, artistic spirit and the pleasure of beauty and colour matter."

"One evening Filip, our godfather from Alba who is a designer, called us to make us a proposal - how about bringing the delicate world of Sophia curtains and sheers to Sibiu? Let's be entrepreneurs, let's bring the Sophia brand and join forces. We read up on the brand and what a Sophia franchise means, then Filip introduced us to Anamaria Ștefan Georgescu and we started talking. And we talked about beauty, how we can transform Siberian homes, what techniques other entrepreneurs who own a Sophia franchise use. And it wasn't hard, because the passion that I felt from the very first discussions was able to be transmitted to me by Anamaria. She has this power over people. That's how we started!".

„ Since college I was toying with the idea of being an entrepreneur, of having a small business or even a bigger one, and by the end of college this thought was already growing stronger. I started working, getting experience, and when the opportunity arose I didn't think much about it. I quickly embraced the idea of opening a Sophia franchise. And now I can tell you that in twenty years' time, I'll still be in the interior design business and still at Sophia, with the same enthusiasm!".
