Perfect Pizza UK Franchise Opportunity - Perfect Pizza Franchising Information

The Perfect Opportunity

Perfect Pizza is one of the UK's leading pizza delivery and takeaway businesses, with over 115 stores throughout the country. Since 1982, the company has grown nationally and plans to add a further 20 franchised stores in 2008. But the expansion won't stop there - there are over 100 new stores in the pipeline for the next 5 years.

In March 2006, the company was bought from Papa John's Ltd for over £7 million by a consortium headed by the ex Managing Director Tony Sherriff and backed by The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and Octopus Asset Management. This demonstrates the management team's high level of commitment to the Perfect Pizza brand.

Perfect Pizza has proved itself to be one of the great franchise success stories of the last 20 years. The prospects for the right people are still excellent, particularly bearing in mind that home delivery is the fastest growing sector of the market. Independent research indicates that pizza delivery is expanding to similar levels as those in the USA, where consumption is three times that of the UK.

Why Pizza?

• It dominates home delivered food in the UK, the fast food capital of Europe
• Pizza is quick and easy to prepare, with inexpensive ingredients and is an impulse purchase, largely unaffected by seasons or fashions
• It's universally popular, easy to eat anytime, anywhere and its low perceived price makes it far less vulnerable to recession
• It delivers an excellent profit margin
