It was lunchtime, I was in the heart of Peterborough Business Park and was taken to O’Briens sandwich bar. The place was buzzing.
No surprise, really, given the high quality presentation and food. That is, for example, whether it is a sandwich, hot wraps or salad, it is made freshly to order right in front of you.
People from small businesses or those from the bigger corporate concerns on the business park who “want a change” ensured there was plenty of footfall. Seating for 60 inside and out, plus ample parking, guaranteed plenty of custom.
And the “unique” friendly, personal service by staff meant an enjoyable dining experience.
Business owner, and franchisee, mum-of-two Anju Tugnet seemed pleased with the high level of activity, both in the sandwich bar and the catering vans.
“This is our peak time, though we do open for breakfast,” she said. O’Briens is open weekdays from 7am to 4pm.
The franchise has, to date, proved a success for Anju and, crucially, allows her to make the balance of business life from Monday to Friday and home life with her young family on weekends.
