Food


secondly, managed properly, food can weather the political and economic storms that cross our paths; and finally, it’s delicious – eating (some) of your profits is a big bonus and seeing your customers’ faces when they’re enjoying your product is a feeling of satisfaction not many other industries can match. In 2020, convenience continues to be king; whether in a mall, on the high street, or through online delivery, customers are still going to buy lunches, snacks and the occasional treat. Everyone is so busy all the time and who wouldn’t want to provide a little bit of joy in a busy day? You are also, of course, dreaming of being your own boss, too; you’ve worked hard for many years for someone else and can now turn your skills into a successful business of your own. Becoming an Auntie Anne’s franchisee can provide you with all of these things.

here are many reasons to open a food business. Firstly, it can deliver strong gross margins;


growing steadily in the UK and Ireland over the last 10 years, with a target of at least 50 stores by the end of 2020. A global presence means brand strength in the UK is ever stronger – tourists love seeing Auntie Anne’s on their travels across the country. The brand is growing but there are still fantastic opportunities throughout the UK and Ireland. The main ethos of the brand is to serve delicious fresh pretzels and other baked products. Each product is handcrafted at the store, baked from scratch with nothing premade or frozen. Once handcrafted, every product is baked and sold within 30 minutes to guarantee the freshest pretzel for the customer. Products range from classic pretzels in sweet and savoury options – including the most popular flavour, cinnamon – to more portable and convenient snacks such as pretzel nuggets and pretzel stix. Along with snacks and treats, Auntie Anne’s has more substantial options – breakfast buns, pretzel hotdogs, pretzel sandwiches and pretzel pizzas – that make a perfect breakfast or lunch either on the go or enjoyed at a café bakery store with seating.


Various store formats for different


types of locations are available. These include kiosks or shops within shopping centres and travel hubs. Bakery cafés for larger high-street locations or street- side grab-and-go units for busy tourist or shopping areas. Staying ahead of trend is the converted shipping container style store, a self-contained kiosk suitable for uncovered shopping centres, designer outlets or retail parks.

The detailed store opening and training programme ensures you receive the highest level of service; Auntie Anne’s goal is to make a life-changing decision as exciting and pain free as possible! The brand has witnessed consistent year-on- year, like-for-like growth for the past five- plus years so you are joining a business well prepared for the future.
