The wonderful world of retail franchising
Retail is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as “The sale of goods to the public in relatively small quantities for use or consumption rather than for resale”.
With that statement in mind, it will come as no surprise that retail offers any potential franchisee a huge opportunity for growth and wealth. With an estimated 3.1 million employees, the retail industry is the UK’s largest private sector employer.

With so much competition in the market it’s important to bear in mind that if you are looking to get involved in the retail sector, there is no better way than through a well-established franchise. With some of the biggest names from the high street looking to expand into local towns and smaller cities, there is so much opportunity for keen business owners to become flourishing franchisees.
One of the benefits of running a retail franchise is that you benefit from the hard work that the franchisor has put in to growing awareness of the brand. Your customers will know what to expect from your business and when you open will expect the same standards of service that they know.
You will as a franchisee benefit from a tried and tested business model built on many years of experience and know-how, in most cases you wouldn’t even need experience of qualifications to run the business. You will just need to bring a strong work ethic and a desire to succeed.
It doesn’t matter what type of franchise you opt for from the retail franchise sector, the support on offer from the franchisor will see that you successfully launch and operate your franchise business to its full capability.
There are many different high street franchises available within the retail market. A retail franchise opportunity can present you with a chance to run your franchise business online or via the high street. Franchisees also benefit from the national contracts that the franchisor may have in place, like The Christmas Decorators who have national contracts in place with several retail stores, such as Boots, these contracts may be given to you.
