Franchise opportunities in this sector relate to shoe franchises for both men’s and ladies fashion. Shoe shop franchises operate from dedicated premises and often seen on High Streets across the UK, using a proven format. These locations offer a convenient destination for shoppers and can include sports footwear for adults and children, formal footwear for work and orthopaedic footwear specialising in custom footwear to help people with mobility challenges. Typically, shoe fashion retail franchises require a high level of investment, but can generate significant returns for franchisees. Other footwear franchises provide shoe parties, which are run from a mobile boutique selling shoes, boots and even handbags to the home, workplace, charity events, public events and corporate events.
