(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 24, 2010 ) Hellerton, PA -- Aspiring entrepreneurs with a love of all things green literally may want to sleep on this new business opportunity: The East Coast Organic Mattress Store is now opening up franchise opportunities.

The East Coast Organic Mattress Store is the first organic mattress store franchise offering in the country, said Dennis Hornick, president of the Organic Mattress Store, parent company of the franchise opportunity. Franchisees will be able to get in on the ground floor of a growing industry – specialty organic mattresses -- as well as a burgeoning global phenomenon: consumers' interest -- and purchases of -- "green"/organic items.

The Organic Trade Association (OTA) reported last year that U.S. organic sales, including food and nonfood products, grew by 17 percent in 2008, bringing in a total of $24.6 billion. Nonfood organic sales that year were up an astounding 39.4 percent from 2007, reaching $1.648 billion.

In addition, the OTA reports that the demand for organic pillows and mattresses has seen double digit growth recently, an upward trend it expects to continue, especially as the current recession winds its way to its end.

"The organic mattress industry is phenomenal," Hornick said. "We do not compete directly with your standard retail mattress store, who might -- and only might -- have one organic mattress hidden away in a tiny corner of the showroom. The East Coast Organic Mattress Store instead focuses just on providing the best organic beds and bedding products available today."

More and more people are looking to organic mattresses for health -- the mattresses help alleviate allergy symptoms and often are much more comfortable to sleep upon. More and more consumers are looking to help the environment by buying "green" and purchasing organic mattresses made of all-natural materials, is one way they can help.

Purchasers of an East Coast Organic Mattress Store franchise program do not need to have experience in running a mattress store or other retail business, Hornick said. Hornick and his team will provide all the training and management materials needed to run the business.

The franchise program purchase includes five days of training at the East Coast Organic Mattress Store's Pennsylvania headquarters, as well as 5 days of additional training at your location prior to opening, and all trademarks, approved suppliers, product lines and operational tools. Franchisees also receive help in selecting their retail site, design and construction assistance, ongoing support, and more.

Since its founding in 2004, Hornick's original Organic Mattress Store, has grown from a 900-square-foot space to an 8,000-square-foot showroom.

"Customers soon began flocking to our store, often from hours away," Hornick said. "They loved our gorgeous showroom stocked with a wide variety of top-quality organic mattresses.

"We're eager to bring this 'naturally' exciting opportunity to business- and green-minded entrepreneurs. Purchase our franchise program and be one of the first to take advantage of consumers' growing interest in high quality, organic mattresses. You'll truly sleep well at night."
