Towns County is far-north Georgia — Hiawassee’s lake-town downtown on the North Carolina line, vacation cabins and lake homes in the state’s northernmost mountains, and porches that face hard mountain sun. The county is small enough that one active dealer owns the whole territory — which is exactly the pitch: the ideal first territory for a dealer who wants to prove the model lean, then expand. For a shade dealer, Towns is the starter-territory play — small, premium, and completely uncontested.

Lake-cabin buyers are the premium segment. Far-north lake homes with porches facing the water and the mountain sun — owned by buyers who spend on the setting and need the setting to work: shade for the harsh afternoon sun on the porch, screens for the mountain evenings. The bundle quote is the natural ticket, sold to buyers with real outdoor-living budgets and zero local specialists.

Small-footprint economics are the strategy. One dealer, one truck, the whole county — low overhead, every install visible, and a reputation that covers Towns in a single season. The first-territory pitch is honest: prove the playbook where the costs are lowest and the competition is zero, then take it to the surrounding mountain counties where the identical vacuum waits.

Mountain sun and weather do the selling. High-altitude sun is harsh on an exposed porch; ridge weather brings the gusty fronts that punish fixed shade. The wind sensor’s automatic retraction and the sealed cassette’s storm protection are the engineering story mountain buyers respect — and the fifteen-year warranty on retractable awnings and motorized power screens is the quality proof.

Our factory builds every system in Southern California — the same factory whose crews install locally. In Towns County, you sell the American-made retractable awnings and motorized power screens and handle installation with your own team or local contractors you trust. Wholesale catalog, dealer portal, measuring and installation training, co-brandable marketing — the territory relationship stays yours from the first measure to the final walkthrough, and the brand on the truck stays yours too.

The product line

What Towns County dealers sell

Lake-cabin shade for the far-north starter territory.

Motorized Power Screens

Zip-track screens engineered for storm-belt weather: fabric edges lock into the side tracks, sensors secure the system automatically, and the fifteen-year warranty covers the complete unit. Towns dealers demo the track — homeowners buy what they can touch.

Full-Cassette Awnings

Full-cassette awnings for Towns patios, decks, and outdoor rooms: on-demand shade that vanishes into a sealed housing. American-made, motorized, and backed by fifteen years of factory warranty.

Open-Roll Retractable Awnings

In Towns, the open-roll line wins the subdivision: new homeowners, west-facing patios, and a retractable that answers the storm question automatically. The warranty — fifteen years — does the rest of the talking.

Browse the dealer catalog

The 15-year factory-serviced warranty covers every retractable awning and motorized power screen in the catalog — American-made, and the dealer’s strongest closing sentence in Towns County. Coverage varies by product and component.

Territory opportunity

The ideal first territory

Small footprint, premium buyers, zero competition.

The far-north lake cabins are the premium lane: lake homes with sun-facing porches owned by buyers with real outdoor-living budgets. Motorized screens for the mountain evenings, retractable awnings for the harsh afternoon sun — the bundle quote, zero local competition.

The small-footprint economics are the strategy: one dealer, one truck, the whole county. Prove the playbook lean in Towns — then expand through the surrounding mountain counties carrying the same vacuum.

The mountain sun-and-weather story sells the engineering: high-altitude sun, gusty ridge fronts, the sensor’s automatic retraction as the headline. The fifteen-year warranty on retractable awnings and motorized power screens closes the quality buyer.

The lake-town visibility is the marketing: Hiawassee’s compact market means every install advertises. Apply today for a straight answer on availability in Towns County.

Why partner with AJ Shades

The starter-territory edge

Hiawassee on the NC line: the ideal first territory, small, premium, uncontested.

1. Manufacturer-direct margin. No distributor layers tax your Towns jobs: you buy at dealer pricing, price the retail job, and keep the spread. The margin that protects your reputation stays in your business.

Lake-town builders hear it first. Towns County’s cabin builders meet buyers at the plan stage — and most have no premium American-made shade answer. The dealership turns that gap into plan-stage quotes: screens and retractables spec’d with the cabin, your crew installing, your margin on every system.

Lake-cabin buyers buy the setting, working. They bought the far-north lake for the porch mornings and the deck evenings — shade the harsh sun, screen the mountain night, and the setting finally delivers.

4. Put fifteen years in the quote. The 15-year factory warranty on every retractable awning and motorized power screen is your closing credential in Towns — comparison shoppers interrogate everything, and this ends the interrogation. Coverage varies by product and component.

5. Add the line, not the lease. No inventory to carry and no warehouse to rent: every Towns system is manufactured to your measurements and shipped to the project. The program supplies training, portal tools, and backup instead of overhead.

Towns County dealer FAQ

Questions Towns County businesses ask us

What territory would I get as an AJ Shades dealer in Towns County, Georgia?

The agreement defines your Towns territory — drawn around your crew capacity and the corridors you want to own. Inquiries from your territory are yours exclusively; we recruit deliberately so dealers never bid against each other.

Is the AJ Shades dealer program a franchise?

Application and approval, not a franchise sale. No franchise fees, no royalties, no annual charges: American-made retractables and power screens at dealer cost, marketed as your own line across Towns.

What training and support do new dealers receive?

Your crew trains the way our installers train: measuring discipline, mounting on real structures, motor limits and remote programming, sensor calibration for gust-front weather, and the service routines that keep a fifteen-year warranty meaningful. Support continues on every Towns job.

Do dealers need to carry inventory?

Nothing to stock and nothing to floor-plan. Build-to-order wholesale means every Towns system is manufactured to your measurements and shipped to the project. No warehouse overhead, no obsolete fabric, no capital trapped on shelves.

Why is a tiny county a good FIRST territory?

Because the learning happens cheap: low overhead, zero competition, and a market small enough to cover completely in one season. Every lesson — quoting, routing, the demo — gets learned where mistakes cost little and wins compound fast. Then the playbook, proven, goes to the bigger mountain counties. Start small, learn fast, expand with proof.

How do mountain lake buyers find you?

Through Hiawassee’s compact network: the cabin builders, the realtors, the property managers — a dozen relationships cover the market. The program’s partner kit gives them real leave-behinds, and the dealer who does the first five installs excellently becomes the town’s shade answer by reputation.
