RFG potential franchisees up 120%

Most interested were people in New South Wales.

According to figures from Retail Food Group, there has been a 120% spike in people interested in owning their own franchise store in 2013.

RFG between 1 January and 30 January 2013 received more than double the number of inquiries received at the same time last year from people interested in buying into one of its franchise systems.

These include Donut King, Brumby’s Bakeries, Michel’s Patisserie, Esquires Coffee Houses, bb’s cafe, Big Dad’s Pies, Pizza Capers Gourmet Kitchen, Crust Gourmet Pizzas, and The Coffee Guy.

The strongest levels of inquiry came from people in New South Wales, with potential franchisees particularly interested in the Donut King and Michel’s Patisserie brands.

RFG National Sales and Leasing Coordination Manager Faith Manning said, “Cutbacks in the private and public sector have caused redundancies and considerable career uncertainty heading into 2013. As a result we’ve seen a spike in people looking to take control of their destiny this year by owning and operating their own small business.”
