Own & Grow an Established City Lifestyle Franchise in Your Community

Take ownership of a thriving City Lifestyle franchise and continue building its impact in your community. This is a rare opportunity to step into an existing, revenue-generating publication and lead it into its next phase of success. As the franchise owner, you’ll strengthen relationships, drive local engagement, and shape your financial future—all with the support of a proven business model and corporate infrastructure.

If you have a background in sales, business, or entrepreneurship, and you’re passionate about community connections, this opportunity offers the best of both worlds—an established business with room for growth.

About City Lifestyle

Since 2009, City Lifestyle has been a leading force in luxury, multimedia publications, connecting business owners and residents within local communities. Recognized by Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S., we produce high-end magazines with an 82% read rate, reaching over 6.5 million readers monthly.

As the owner of an existing City Lifestyle franchise, you’ll step into a business with an established reputation, audience, and advertiser relationships—all while enjoying the benefits of business ownership with corporate backing.

Revenue Potential

• Step into an active revenue stream with existing advertiser relationships.

• Industry-high profit margins for maximum profitability.

• Residual income model—generate ongoing revenue even outside of active selling.

• Earnings are performance-based with no cap on your potential income.

• Detailed financials and revenue potential will be discussed during the interview process.

What Does a City Lifestyle Publisher Do?

As the new owner of this established publication, you will:

• Maintain and grow the magazine’s strong local presence.

• Cultivate meaningful relationships with businesses and community leaders.

• Engage with local advertisers to understand their marketing needs and goals.

• Prospect and secure new business through direct sales efforts.

• Manage and expand your client base for sustained revenue growth.

• Represent the publication at networking and community events.

Why This Opportunity?

Unlike starting a publication from scratch, this opportunity allows you to own a business that is already in motion—with branding, readership, and advertising relationships in place. However, the potential for growth is limitless, and City Lifestyle provides the resources to help you take it to the next level.

Comprehensive Corporate Support

While you own and operate the franchise, you are never alone. Our corporate team provides:

• Comprehensive training and a dedicated Sales Coach to guide you.

• An experienced Publication Director to assist with content and production.

• Full magazine design, printing, and distribution services.

• Professional ad design and layout support.

• A custom-built CRM system for client management and acquisition.

• A dedicated website for your publication.

• National corporate support to ensure you succeed.

Who We’re Looking For

This opportunity is ideal for:

• Sales and business professionals looking for a turnkey ownership opportunity.

• Entrepreneurs and community leaders ready to make a lasting impact.

• High-performing, self-motivated individuals who thrive in relationship-driven roles.

• Those who want the freedom of business ownership with the support of a national brand.
