Franchise History

Then... In 1995, Window World was just a small roadside stand in Wilmington, NC, managed by a man with big aspirations. This man was Leon Whitworth, and he vowed to grow his company on principles that had long been gone in the home improvement industry. There was a very common negative stereotype regarding home improvement companies, involving a slick-tongued salesman who would give a fancy presentation and a ridiculously high price. He would then create fake discounts and bogus coupon incentives to try to "WOW" the customer into thinking they were getting a great deal. Leon Whitworth knew this tactic, and he knew it wouldn't work in creating a reputable company. Whitworth was going to be honest and hardworking, while providing customers with a high quality product. And he was going to do all of this without charging an arm and a leg. This very idea inspired the Window World Motto, to "Provide a Superior Product, Installed by a professional craftsman, at their low price guarantee." Window World partnered with the highest quality window manufacturers. Window World windows are designed with the latest in energy efficiency technology, created with the highest quality materials and equipment. Each location is individually owned and operated, ensuring that each customer's project gets the individual attention it deserves. Each owner and craftsman receive monthly training covering all aspects of technological changes and advances within the home improvement industry. They understand that the job they do for you today, will lead to the job for your neighbor next week. They strive to do their absolute best on every project, every time.
