Lenard’s will add a further 30 new stores to its existing 191 before the end of the year, with founder and director Lenard Poulter taking a more hands-on role in the company’s franchise recruitment team to select the right franchise owners to operate the new outlets.
Poulter said his had been to establish 200 Lenard’s stores across Australia.
“To my knowledge, there aren’t many large franchise businesses in Australia where the founder and director plays a hands-on role in selecting and introducing new franchise owners into the fold.
“It has always been of upmost importance that we recruit the right franchise owners to continue to build successful stores and a strong national franchising model.â€
