Burger & Sauce sees rising interest in franchise opportunities
The fast-food burger chain, which was set up two years ago during the height of the pandemic, started to invite applications for potential franchisees last month
Burger and Sauce has claimed to have seen “unprecedented” interest in franchise opportunities since it launched as a franchise at the start of July.
The fast-food burger chain, which was set up two years ago during the height of the pandemic, started to invite applications for potential franchisees last month.
The first Burger and Sauce restaurant in Birmingham turned over £1.5m in its first year, after which company founder Saad Masood said that launching as a franchise “became the long-term goal”.
All of the group’s existing franchisees have now signed multi-store agreements, as the chain aims to establish over 300 stores across the UK in the coming years. The franchise is reportedly on target for double digit store openings by the end of 2022.
Masood said: “Since then, our experienced franchise team led by Anthony Round has worked hard and taken time to put all the necessary elements in place to develop a compelling franchise opportunity from setting up new franchisee training, operations manual, a site sourcing team to marketing.
“We have recognised the opportunity and now invite other like-minded people to leverage our brand’s success to create their own Burger and Sauce restaurant with our full back-up and support.”
Anthony Round, franchise director, Burger and Sauce, added: “We know the brand is going to be big! Once the franchise concept was proven and all the operational details in place, we began to invite applications from more potential franchisees a few weeks ago. Within days, we had received 30 or so valid enquiries! Interest has been unprecedented.
“Currently, we are looking for ambitious individuals to grow our brand around two hours’ drive from Birmingham. This will ensure our ingredient delivery processes and cost base remains competitive for franchisees. We are also considering master franchisees who are interested in larger multi-store development agreements slightly further afield too. More opportunities will become available for locations all over the UK as we grow.”
