The CD Warehouse Company began franchising the same year that the company was initially founded, allowing individuals to become owner-operators of their very own franchise locations. Now the company behind this highly successful franchise business has grown to have 110 employees of its own, with 8 of those employees specializing specifically in the franchising department. In 2005, there were nearly 160 United States franchise locations, 3 Canadian franchise locations, 11 franchise locations in other countries, and 27 company-owned locations. The CD Warehouse franchise company is looking not only for national franchise opportunities, but also worldwide franchise opportunities, so residents not only of the United States but of other countries as well are urged to look into the franchise opportunities being offered by the CD Warehouse Company. Exclusive territories are also offered in many cases, though the size of the territory will vary based on other nearby CD Warehouse chains.

A number of CD Warehouse franchise stores have reached $1 million dollars in annual sales, and these locations are designated as "Platinum Star" locations, which allows them to receive in-store recognition for their great achievement.

The total investment for a franchisee interested in owning a CD Warehouse franchise ranges from $127,000 to $164,300 depending on operating costs for a specific region, and real estate costs in that particular region as well. The traditional franchising fee of $20,000 dollars applies to each individual franchise location, and there is an ongoing 4-5% royalty fee that will be assessed on a monthly basis for the entire duration of the agreement. The traditional agreement term for the CD Warehouse franchise concept is ten years, though these contracts are renewable. The CD Warehouse franchise company does not offer in-house financing, but third party financing assistance is available for franchising fees, startup costs, equipment and inventory.

Individuals interested in opening their own CD Warehouse franchise locations are required to have an asset liquidity of between $40,000 and $60,000. These individuals are also required to have some general business experience and basic working knowledge of marketing before they will qualify for this unique franchise opportunity.
