Last Updated on 17th August 2017
Foodco UK exhibited its brands at ‘The Franchise Show Ireland’, to give potential franchisees the chance to discuss opportunities to become part of a successful, growing café bakery.
The Franchise Show Ireland took place on 9th – 10th September at RDS, Dublin, and Foodco UK showcased its brands Muffin Break and Jamaica Blue at stand 306. The event included more than 50 seminars, features such as the Franchise Advise Zone and one-to-one appointments with experts in the field.
Visitors were able to meet existing franchisees, explore funding options and learn more about brands such as Muffin Break and Jamaica Blue. The show ran from 10am to 5pm and was packed full of everything new franchisees need to know before beginning their journey.
Artisan bakery Muffin Break is part of a growing series of local franchisee owned cafes, with over 250 stores worldwide and around 60 of those in the UK. It has a successful 15 year track record and has recently seen a 28% rise in muffin sales in the first four months of 2016, thanks to the launch of its innovative Muffin Lab range. All food options are baked on site daily, using only fresh ingredients.
Jamaica Blue is growing its UK presence this year with the opening of its second store in September at a high-end development in Chelmsford. A further UK store is planned to open in Leeds this winter. It is one of Australia’s most successful franchise companies, but there are also over 100 stores worldwide based in New Zealand, Dubai and China. The first UK store opened in Cambridge in December 2014. The café offers all day dining with a wide range of classic breakfast and lunch dishes – all served with a Jamaica Blue twist.
