SubwayMultiple Store Owner
Jan. 2001 - Mar. 2007South YorkshireAs well as managing my optical business I ventured into franchising for the first time in 2001.
Running stores under the Subway banner. These stores were a new concept to the UK and I was instrumental in growing the brand along with other pioneers at the time. Daily life comprised of staff recruitment, QA product checking, team building, brand awareness, financial reporting, disciplinary processes, head honcho amongst all other things that a business owner with multiple stores had to contend with. We exited the business in 2007.
