Opportunities right up your Streat!

11 October 2010

With 36 Outlets successfully established throughout Ireland, the fastest growing Irish Cafe franchise, The Streat, are now expanding to Munster and are looking for motivated, like-minded, passionate people to join them and be a part of their successful franchise network. On Wednesday 13th October, from 6.30 pm there will be an information evening at the Clarion Hotel with The Streat's Munster representative Michael O'Toole. Also present will be Bank of Ireland, Business Development Manager Michael Shanahan and David Killeen who is Managing Partner of Killeen & Associates and Chairman of The Irish Franchise Association.The Streat is owned by The Henderson Group, who hold the licence for Spar in the North and are also the market leading food service business in Northern Ireland. The rapid growth of The Streat is due to consistently providing great food and unique blended  Streat  coffee in contemporary surroundings and offering genuine partner type support to their franchisees and the highest level of award winning training. The Streat has twice won the  National Training Awards and are currently the Irish Franchise Associations  Franchise of the Year 2010.

Michael O'Toole is developing the franchise network in Munster and is no stranger to franchising having successfully co-owned a number of Specsavers franchises in the UK. Michael states, "I am delighted to be bringing this unique opportunity to Munster. The superb product offering from The Streat, combined with their genuine partnership support and training, is crucial for the success of the franchise" When asked about the current economic climate Michael stated "Although we are in this tough economic climate this has not prevented new Streat cafes from successfully opening in Ireland - in fact, the opposite is the case with eight new cafes opening in the last 12 months, providing employment  in excess of 80 staff. There are many people looking to open their own business and the successful Streat formula is now proving much more viable with more manageable rent levels, continued bank support, realistic lease terms and also the possibility of a significant initial rent free period. It is possible to make money again!"

For those interested in the opportunity The Streat will help find and negotiate excellent locations, manage the  initial  set up, provide franchisee and team training as well as on-going management support. Their ‘more than a café' model gives each of our franchisees an outside catering and delivery opportunity thus maximizing the cafes full potential and therefore profit.
