About UsLaunched in December 2009, new franchise Leckenby’s is planning to refresh the British High Street with their up-market Café & Chocolate Shop business opportunity. Owners Jean Leckenby and Tony Cunningham rebranded Chocoholics in 2009 and are now looking for two pilot franchisees to start their own Leckenby’s in their local towns.
Chocoholics started out as a specialist chocolate shop in Bury back in 1997. The business evolved into an up-market coffee lounge, although customers can still purchase some of the World’s finest chocolate products! Leckenby’s are now looking to expand into other towns in the North of England and chose franchising to move forwards.
“We have developed and refined incredibly efficient systems for running a high street café/coffee bar. Our success has been proven by our repeat business and numerous awards. Our small franchise fee is an excellent investment if you are planning to start your own high street catering business”, commented Tony Cunningham
Jean and Tony and the team will work with you to ensure you build a strong and profitable restaurant business. The franchise fee buys you exceptional support for your business including;
- 3 weeks of thorough training in the business systems you have invested in
- Advice and assistance finding and securing the right premises in the right position
- A comprehensive Business Operations Manual
- An extensive menu and retail product lines that continuously evolve
- Ongoing support in growing and fine tuning your business
All franchisees will undergo a comprehensive training programme to ensure that they are confident in their ability to manage their business.
Financial InformationYou really can have your cake and eat it! The Leckenby’s franchise is bank
approved which means it is easier to secure borrowing to start your restaurant business. Leckenby’s training and systems focuses heavily on encouraging and securing repeat business, the lifeblood of stable and predictable cashflow. Retail sales bolster the income from the catering side of the business and provide an opportunity to increase average spend.
The projected figures conservatively suggest a gross profit of over £185K in Yr 1 rising to £240K+ in Yr 5.
The franchise fee is £8,000 (£5,000 for two pilot franchisees) although you will need around £112,500 depending on the premises you choose, not including working capital. All costs exclude VAT
Leckenby’s are initially looking for people to invest in their two pilot franchises in the North of England - see map below.
Applicants should be motivated, outgoing and have a smart appearance. Bucket loads of common sense and exceptionally high standards will help franchisees build successful businesses.
“We are looking for individuals that have an eye for detail, determination and drive. The systems we empower franchisees with will give them the confidence to run their business, manage staff and develop a strong customer base”, commented Jean.
The map indicates the areas that Jean and Tony would like to focus on for the initial expansion. This is so they can ensure they are able to provide the support required to help franchisees establish successful profitable businesses.
Leckenby’s welcomes enquiries from couples and families.
Please contact Tony Cunningham for more information and a copy of the franchise prospectus.
