Franchise Opportunities
Bring Studio Kiku to Hamilton
Studio Kiku is expanding across Canada. We're looking for a motivated operator to bring our laser tattoo removal model to Hamilton, Ontario.
Territory

Hamilton is an available franchise territory. It is a new studio opportunity: you would open a Studio Kiku studio here, rather than buy one that is already operating.
Each territory is laid out in the franchise agreement, and it will vary depending on location.
The nearest operating studio is Studio Kiku Vaughan, in Concord, north of Toronto.
Research
Studio Kiku has already done the research on Hamilton. Here is what the 2021 Census shows.
- City of Hamilton population
- 569,353
- Hamilton metro population
- 785,184
- City growth, 2016 to 2021
- 6.0%
- Median age, city
- 40.8
- Median household income, metro
- $91,000
- Residents aged 20 to 39, city
- 27.6%
What Stands Out
- The city grew 6.0% from 2016 to 2021, faster than Canada at 5.2%
- Median household income of $91,000 across the metro area, against $84,000 for Canada as a whole
- A metro area of 785,184 people

Ontario
Opening in Ontario means, among other things:
- Register the business in Ontario and register for HST, which is 13% here
- Check the city's zoning, business licence and permit rules for the space before you sign the lease
- Follow Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act for the laser: training for everyone who uses it, and a competent person to supervise its use
- Register with the WSIB within ten days of hiring your first worker
Ontario's franchise law, the Arthur Wishart Act, requires that you receive the disclosure document at least 14 days before you sign the franchise agreement or pay anything toward it.
Site
You find the location and sign the lease, once we've approved both the site and the lease. To be approved, the site should be a visible retail space with easily accessible parking.
The studio needs a reception desk, a waiting area, an accessible washroom and a laser room of at least 16 by 12 feet. See what opening a studio involves, along with training and support after you open.
