One Stop celebrates contract renewals

The symbol group has seen steady growth in the sector with more than 200 franchise stores opening and now 94% renewing again.

Gaz Bains who runs the One Stop franchise in Belgrave Road, Coventry, said: “Customers expect so much more nowadays. One Stop is no longer a distress store where you go simply to grab something you’ve forgotten. They’re becoming destination stores.

“One Stop gives excellent margins on promotions and this drives people into store. Thanks to the regular deliveries we also don’t need to keep masses of stock.”

John Miller, head of franchise, said: “The number of franchisees who have renewed their contracts shows real confidence in our brand. We are offering them the best franchise model on the market and these ongoing renewals demonstrate One Stop’s long term trusted partnerships.”

Mills added: “We’re not looking to slow down now; we’re putting our foot on the franchise pedal. We have restructured and recruited four new colleagues, who have a lot of experience in retail and convenience. I have the utmost confidence in them helping us realise our strategic vision and providing the very best franchise model on the market.”
