Four new US franchises are set to enter Australia, including burger chain Carl’s Jr and restaurant group The Melting Pot, lured by the strength of the local franchising sector.
It comes just days after clothing chain Gap announced it would be opening an Australian store following years of speculation, with its first Melbourne location set to open its doors before June.
Burger chain Carl’s Jr, restaurant The Melting Pot, the sports store Golf Etc and elderly assistance group Right At Home are set to enter the market, and are currently looking for investors and individuals to handle the master franchise rights.
The four companies are searching for interested parties with funds between $410,000 and $1.1 million, and will be holding private meetings between April 12-15.
