The franchise convenience store retailer, One Stop, reports that it has continued to hit its key growth milestones despite the challenging economic climate and now has over 700 company stores and over 350 franchise stores nationwide.
One Stop, a subsidiary of Tesco which acquired the stores in 2003, said it has a clear plan of ambitious growth that will see it launch bold new initiatives that will set it apart from the competition.
Carl Traill, head of franchise development at One Stop, commented: “There’s never been a better time for independent retailers to partner with us. It’s a challenging time to be in convenience retail, however our team of experts can maximise business potential.”
Online delivery platform
One Stop said it has experienced exceptional growth in online sales over the last couple of years with more independent retailers recognising that online delivery is an opportunity to build an additional income stream, and attract customers outside of their catchment area.
The company explained that its award-winning online delivery platform integrates four delivery partners (Uber Eats, Just Eat, Deliveroo and Snappy Shopper) into one centralised system and with technology advancing all the time, it will allow franchisees to evolve ahead of customer demand, while simplifying in-store operations.
One Stop launched as a franchise in 2014 and its neighbourhood stores employ over 10,500 colleagues.
