FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY

Why do people buy franchises?
A big question sometimes asked by potential franchisees is, “Why should I buy a franchise? Why can’t I just go out and start my own business?”

Many people have but   consider the drawbacks of opening a business in the restaurant or baked goods industry without the professional training, business experience or connections that can make the difference in those critical first few months of operation.

The Sukie’s Bread Company® benefits extend far beyond the proprietary recipes that we bring to the table. The “value added” part of franchising is what you gain from the experience, know-how and operating plan that comes with it.

The benefit to franchising is that, with the right opportunity, it provides an established method of operation that might take years to develop independently. The Sukie’s Bread Company ® opportunity gives you the ready-made framework within which to build a successful business.

Name-brand identification and an association of support provide an immediate and distinct competitive edge over the independent, stand-alone business. Franchisees often avoid that costly trial-and-error period that causes so many problems for start-up businesses. One survey by the U.S. Department of Labor suggests that only approximately 35% of independent businesses succeed in those early years, whereas the percentage for franchise businesses that succeed is in excess of 90%.

That’s not surprising; when you consider that a franchise is really a blueprint for a business. Franchising helps “take the presumption” out of running a business. Franchisees are able to “hit the ground running.” 

Each year, more than $810 billion in goods and services are sold through franchises in the United States. There are over 550,000 individual franchise outlets nationally. Each working day, a new franchise opens every five minutes. Over 300 different types of industries and businesses are franchising; and franchising is growing at an exponential rate! In fact, 50% of all franchise companies began after 1980.

 In the Caribbean, there are very little Caribbean owned and operated franchisees.

You could be a part of this growth story — as a part of our Sukie’s Bread Company ® franchise experience. 

May we take your (franchise) order?
The Sukie’s Bread Company ® franchise opportunity developed from a highly successful and popular business. Our business philosophy is that “we’re all on the same boat.” We are absolutely uncompromising when it comes to providing only the very best products for our customers. There is no such thing as “second best” in our dictionary. Nothing less than perfection will do. It is this uncompromising commitment to excellence that has distinguished our product and our reputation, and which will distinguish this as a “must try” franchising opportunity.

More than a bakery, more than a natural and fresh baked foods concept, and the Sukie’s Bread Company ® concept appeals to and attracts a broad customer base – all ages, communities and social status.

If you want to win in the business world, then go with the winners.

We want people who understand that running a bakery is a complex venture…and a “labor of love.” We believe you need to “love” what you do to succeed at it. This includes the ingredients, the business philosophy, and the desire to provide a product second to none…and the willingness to work hard to accomplish these goals.

We know our business and will help our franchisees in every way we can. From location selection to extensive training on our recipes, to product selection through our centralized supply network , to marketing, to hiring and recruiting personnel, we know what works. 

We are committed to providing the support you will need to run your operation effectively and efficiently. This includes a start-up marketing and training program, as well as on-site assistance and telephone consultation. The Sukie’s Bread Company® commitment doesn’t end when you “sign on the bottom line.” That’s when it begins.
