What franchise would run well in Accrington/local area?
 

i'm thinkin of starting up a new business along the lines of a franchise

but i'm just undecided as to what kind would be best or would run well

one of the ones i've thought of is a well known drinks company - maybe in blackburn

any ideas folks?

Its possible that this lot do franchising or then again they may not. However, for a chain restaurant the quality of the food is one hell of a sight better than your standard burger/pizza/kebab muck. I know there is no outlet in Accy and I doubt there is one in Blackburn, but they knock out trendy, low fat but quite spicey food and it would certainly be an attraction on the Accy culinary landscape.

Don't think you would make much in Accy unless it's cheap lol. (not that were all poor, just don't like parting with money) Could always try a smoothie bar there popping up everywhere at the moment. All you need is some fruit (i'm sure you could get some bargains on accy market) and a smoothie machine - oh yea and as long as you are good at selling ur bound to make a racket!

what you need to do is start your own buisness from scratch

i suggest the following steps

1: invest in a whole load of burgers

2: do a variety of double burgers with various garnishings like cheese , salad and bacon etc served with chips infact dont call them chips call them fries it sounds healthier

3: do smaller version of set meals for children and throw in a toy to keep them coming back for more

4: hire a clown preferably with big red hair and answering to the name ronold

5: advertising is just as important as the food i suggest a big yellow M with a bright red background , that should grab peoples attention

heres the best one

6: call it fast food , take as long as you like because once you have somones money they will wait an eternity for their food infact make a game of it with your employees to see who can make people wait the longest

Re: What franchise would run well in Accrington/local area?
 

Small Fee? They are a rip off Mani. Anyway,thought you were going to bite the bullet and move to London to be a taxi driver?

I'm constantly thinking up new ideas for businesses, its just getting them off the ground. What about something for children, cos theres loads of them:) and they always want stuff:) and they're very persuasive:) I nearly bought a franchise for drama clubs.

Re: What franchise would run well in Accrington/local area?
 

circumstances change. i had sent off all the forms et all but things happen and the move has been dropped.

rip off for the customer or the store owner? ;)

u know there's a tragic loss of good children clothing - adams and next seems to b all there is... but the problem is there's alot of regulation and safety - rightly so - around children so its quite hard to get ideas off the ground...

Re: What franchise would run well in Accrington/local area?
 

There are rumours that Adams is going under.

Re: What franchise would run well in Accrington/local area?
 

that was gary glitter you fool :rolleyes:

Re: What franchise would run well in Accrington/local area?
 

*LMAO* @ chav

goin under eh? maybe i shud buy them out *L*

the big prob is sourcing kids clothing to a high quality - or havin them made urself.. but for that u need some decent east asian contacts

Re: What franchise would run well in Accrington/local area?
 

when asda and tesco etc can knock decent gear out for 1.50 a top or jeans for kids its gonna be hard to compete

second hand shops for baby toys , prams etc usualy do well

Re: What franchise would run well in Accrington/local area?
 

Theres a paper called Daltons - for business normally at a good newsagents. They do a lot a different franchises in there. Maybe worth taking a look.
