This is exactly what Merle Norman did when she began making skincare products in her house 90 years ago and established the company which still bears her name. This means that for nearly a century, Merle Norman has been helping entrepreneurs realize their dreams of small business ownership. In turn, these entrepreneurs have created thousands of jobs, and the communities in which they operate are stronger as a result.

While there are no recession-proof franchise concepts, Merle Norman has certainly proven to be recession-resistant. Merle Norman is the rare franchise system, with many examples of franchise owners who have been open for decades – and even more rare, many of our franchise owners are second or third generation. This means that for these families, owning a Merle Norman is a way of life and a way to build a life you can be proud of.
