Deck the Walls is North America's premier franchisor of art, custom framing and wall décor. Located primarily in shopping malls, we have been in business since 1979 and franchising since 1981.
Each store offers a large selection of art and custom frame options, plus our unique framing systems. We have a friendly, inviting, creative atmosphere that you and your customers will both enjoy. Entrepreneur Magazine has consistently named Deck The Walls and our sister concept, The Great Frame Up, as two of the top franchises in the Art & Custom Framing category.
Deck The Walls is a Franchise Concepts, Inc. (FCI) company. FCI is the world's largest, most successful franchisor of retail art and custom framing stores. Besides owning both Deck The Walls and The Great Frame Up, two of the largest national art and custom framing franchises in the United States, FCI also owns Framing & Art Centre, the only national art and custom framing franchise in Canada. Therefore, as part of FCI's rapidly growing family, which now has over 300 stores, you'll enjoy some unbeatable advantages!
