I opened my first store in Kilmarnock 12 years ago and now own an additional two. I wanted to reap the rewards of my own efforts and build up a business that would act as a pension pot, so I needed to invest in a recession-proof model that would stand the test of time. Support from my franchisor is always available but varies vastly now from the early days of hand-holding to learn the basics. Nowadays I benefit from being able to listen, analyse and act on advice not only from the franchisor but from the established network of fellow franchisees.
