Description
Baguette Express was established in 1999 to provide an alternative approach to the expanding world of healthy snacking. We saw a gap in the market for a business that sought to provide a wide range of food at an attractive price level and pricing structure, together with a pleasant Baguette Express environment.

We love the image that we have created, and we want everyone to have the chance to come and enjoy the Baguette Express experience. The brand image of Baguette Express is a modern, warm and inviting outlet providing a friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable service at an attractive price level. Baguette Express is aimed principally at young professionals, students and office workers, although our customers are drawn from all demographic types.

Baguette Express presents a personal, relaxed atmosphere, one where customers know they will be served by friendly staff who will serve them quickly and without fuss.

A typical Baguette Express outlet will have up to 1,000 square feet of retail space, with support and storage functions.

This would cost:
  • Initial license fee = £12,500
  • Shopfitting and signage (approx) = £30,000 to £54,500
  • Tills = £1,500
  • Initial working capital requirements = £1,500
  • Approximate total investment = £45,000 - £70,000
All figures are exclusive of VAT. In addition to the initial license fee, a management charge of 7% of gross Income is payable. Lease funding could be available for the computers and some of the shop equipment.

We want people to share our vision of quality and affordable service, and help us continue the development of our brand.

We are looking for dynamic, motivated and ambitious individuals who understand the business model and concept.

You must be willing to run your business as we run ours, and follow our detailed manuals and handbooks to the letter.

You must be committed to the promotion, support and maintenance of Baguette Express and its franchise network.
