One Stop franchisees, Daniel and Craig Wilson, have opened their 12th store in Pickering, North Yorkshire.

The store, which is located at 4-5 Eastgate, Pickering, was “very tired” and needed a lot of work.

Daniel Wilson said: “Pickering is a good location, on the edge of the West Yorkshire Moors and as the lockdown restrictions start to lift, we should see more tourism come into the area. We also hope that locals will see what we have done with the store and shop with us, attracted by the promotions and offers we will be bringing to the area.

“In Scarborough we offer a home delivery service through Snappy Shopper where we have purchased electric vehicles to make these deliveries helping with the impact on the environment. This is meeting the needs of the growing trends of online shopping and home delivery, so this could be an option here too.”

And Wilson doesn’t plan to stop there – he’s just bought a pub. “I’m converting this to three units. One of these will be a One Stop. It’s not a massive difference to have one or 16, which is the number of One Stops I expect to have by the end of this year,” Wilson added.

John Miller, head of franchise, said: “We are seeing an increasing number of our franchisees opening multiple stores. Our network of business development managers and recruitment managers are always on hand to offer support and help our franchisees wherever they can. This could be from helping to locate prospective stores, to advising on business growth and opportunities on the ground. We have a huge amount of expertise to advise on business opportunities.”
