Franklin County’s 1,326,063 residents make it Ohio’s largest county, Columbus as the capital, Ohio State University as the cultural engine, and the Intel-era data-center and tech growth wave reshaping the region’s economy. Dublin, Powell, and New Albany concentrate the premium suburbs; the city’s young-professional corridors add density. For a shade dealer, Franklin County is the growth market where tech incomes meet new-build patios.
The Intel-era transplant is the demographic engine. Data-center and tech growth imports young professional buyers, high incomes, analytical habits, zero local contractor loyalty. They buy shade the way they buy everything: researched, spec-compared, decided on the warranty. The fifteen-year warranty on retractable awnings and motorized power screens is the line that survives the spreadsheet.
Dublin, Powell, and New Albany are the premium corridors. Established affluent suburbs with estate lots, whole-property outdoor living, and buyers who furnish completely, pool houses, guest spaces, west glass that motorized screens were designed for. Quote the property, not the patio; the ticket reflects the corridor’s premium profile.
Ohio State adds the town-and-gown layer. Faculty, staff, and professionals in the university corridors research before they spend, buy the engineered system, and stay put for decades. The sealed full-cassette housing, the zip-track screen mechanism, and the wind-sensor logic are the vocabulary this buyer closes on, and their referrals travel department to department.
Manufacturing happens at our Southern California factory, the same factory whose crews install locally. In Franklin 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.

Territory opportunity
The capital’s growth wave
Tech transplants, premium suburbs, and the OSU corridor.

The Ohio State town-and-gown lane adds the long-tenure buyer: faculty and professionals who buy the engineered system and stay for decades. Analytical buyers, premium systems, department-to-department referrals.
The Columbus growth suburbs round it out: new-build corridors with move-in buyers and bare west-facing patios. Apply today for a straight answer on availability in Franklin County.
Why partner with AJ Shades
The capital-county edge
Columbus, the Intel-era wave, and the OSU corridor.
1. Wholesale, not franchise. Forget franchise economics. There are no fees and no royalties; there is dealer pricing on American-made retractables and power screens, your brand on the job across Franklin, and your margin on every sale.
Production and custom builders are the pipeline. Franklin County’s builders are delivering the growth wave one community at a time, and the patio is where the handoff happens. A dealer who partners with the county’s builders, or sells through the design center, gets the buyer before the boxes are unpacked.
Transplant buyers buy on the warranty. They have no local loyalty and infinite research energy. Fifteen years, factory-serviced, on retractable awnings and motorized power screens is the credential that survives the interrogation, and the reason the analytical buyer signs.
4. Warranty as a sales weapon. When Franklin buyers compare factories, the warranty decides: fifteen years, factory-serviced, on every retractable awning and motorized power screen. Coverage varies by product and component.
5. Start lean, scale on margin. Zero inventory, zero warehousing, Franklin dealers order per job and we build to order. The economics favor the contractor: margin without the carrying costs that sink product lines.
