Open Markets
Open Lighting Franchise Territories
Ten markets are open for new Lighting Partners franchise operators as of October 2026, including Atlanta, Dallas, Nashville, and Charlotte. Each open market currently has no Lighting Partners operator, and territory availability changes as agreements are signed, so confirm current status with the franchise team before planning around any market. Dallas and Atlanta have their own territory pages with county and market detail; the rest are listed below.
