Success Is Sweet

Are you looking for a retail franchise? Then how about joining The Eggfree Cake Box and opening your own cake shop on the high street.

For special occasions, or an everyday treat, most of us enjoy a cake of some sort, but our busy lifestyle means very few of us have the time to make our own, which is why the retail franchise offering from The Eggfree Cake Box is proving popular in the UK.

What Is The Eggfree Cake Box

The Eggfree Cake Box makes delicious, individually-crafted celebration fresh cream cakes in-store and while you wait, for everybody - even individuals on a lacto-vegetarian or egg-free diet, for either personal reasons or because of an allergy. The average waiting time for a personalised celebration cake is around 20 minutes.

Expanding Fast

Since opening their first branch in 2008, there are now nine branches in the UK, and negotiations are in advanced stages for a further four new sites, which the owners hope will be trading by November 2011. The company is on track for 14 stores by the end of 2011, and hopes to open a further 16 new stores in 2012, bringing the total number of Cake Box's to 30.

The Franchise Package

The Eggfree Cake Box has put together a comprehensive franchise package which includes:

• full training for the franchise owner and key staff
• site selection
• assistance with shop design
• equipment supply
• in-depth operations and product manuals, covering all aspects of The Eggfree Cake Box operation
• ongoing support
• continued product development and innovation
• marketing materials and regular newsletters
• business coaching and mentoring scheme
• regular shop visits to discuss business development

Profitable

Pardip Dass, Finance Director, comments: All of our franchisees made a profit from the very first week of trading, which demonstrates that we have a strong brand and huge demand for our cakes. Most of our franchisees were set up and ready to commence operation for under £70,000, which for a retail franchise operation in the UK represents excellent value for money, considering it includes all the premises and equipment costs, as well as the Franchise Fee, training and marketing costs.

"The Eggfree Cake box is unlike any other franchise out there. There is strong demand for our cakes - every day is someone's birthday, and who, in their busy lifestyle, has always got time to plan ahead? So where did they go? To The Eggfree Cake Box of course!
