3 Day Blinds

3 Day Blinds is a national window covering company that designs, sells, and installs custom blinds, shades, shutters, and drapery for homes and small commercial spaces. The business started in 1978 in California with a simple idea: make and deliver mini blinds in three days, which was fast for the time. That early focus on speed and in-house production helped it stand out from traditional drapery shops and catalog sellers.

Over the years, the company expanded its product line to include a wide range of window treatments, from cellular and roller shades to plantation shutters and custom drapery. It also shifted toward a more consultative model, training design consultants to visit customers in their homes, help them choose products, take measurements, and manage the installation process. This in-home service model remains central to how the brand operates today.

As of December 2024, 3 Day Blinds has about 100 locations across the United States, including standalone showrooms and shop-in-shop design centers inside select Lowe’s stores. Its footprint covers major metropolitan areas and strong suburban markets in California, Texas, the Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast. The company continues to grow by adding more design consultants in existing markets and opening new showrooms in key trade areas, often in lifestyle centers and power centers where homeowners are actively remodeling.

A notable milestone in recent years has been the deepening of its partnership with Lowe’s, which has allowed 3 Day Blinds to expand into additional markets without needing a full standalone store in every location. This strategy supports a more flexible rollout, using co-located design desks to reach more customers while maintaining a smaller physical footprint in some areas.

The company is headquartered in Irvine, California, and operates as a single corporate entity, not a franchise. All locations are company-controlled, which means site selection, relocations, and remodels are managed through a centralized real estate and operations team. This structure can make it easier for landlords and developers to work with the brand across multiple markets.

3 Day Blinds relies on a mix of digital marketing, online appointment booking, and local design teams to generate leads and serve customers. Its physical presence typically includes leased retail or inline space for showrooms, supported by regional service and logistics operations. For commercial real estate partners, it represents a long-established home improvement–adjacent tenant with a service-driven traffic pattern, built around scheduled in-home consultations and appointment-based visits rather than walk-in retail volume.
