Bring Studio Kiku to Saskatoon

Studio Kiku is expanding across Canada. We're looking for a motivated operator to bring our laser tattoo removal model to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Saskatoon 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.

No Studio Kiku studio operates in Saskatchewan yet.

Research

Studio Kiku has already done the research on Saskatoon. Here is what the 2021 Census shows.

City of Saskatoon population
266,141
Saskatoon metro population
317,480
City growth, 2016 to 2021
7.7%
Median age
36.8
Median household income, metro
$89,000
Residents aged 20 to 39, city
30.9%

What Stands Out

  • A median age of 36.8, almost five years younger than the national median of 41.6
  • Median household income of $89,000 across the metro area, against $84,000 for Canada as a whole
  • The city grew 7.7% from 2016 to 2021, faster than Canada at 5.2%
  • 30.9% of City of Saskatoon residents are between 20 and 39, against 26.1% nationally

Saskatchewan

Opening in Saskatchewan means, among other things:

  • Register the business with Saskatchewan's corporate registry and register for GST, and for PST if it applies to what you sell
  • Have only qualified operators use the laser, as the Radiation Health and Safety Regulations, 2024 require for Class 3B and Class 4 lasers
  • Register with Saskatchewan's Workers' Compensation Board within 30 days of hiring workers
  • Check the city's zoning, business licence and permit rules for the space before you sign the lease

Saskatchewan's The Franchise Disclosure Act, in force since June 30, 2026, 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.
