Given the current economic climate and the fact that good business news appears to be thin on the ground, expanding a franchise business beyond its current operating areas could be regarded as an enormous leap of faith and a real challenge.
That’s exactly the journey Glasgow based entrepreneur Graeme Sim and his 1st Choice Chem-Dry team have just embarked on. This expansion involves growing their carpet and upholstery cleaning and fire and flood restoration businesses beyond their current franchise operating areas of Strathclyde to six other franchise operating areas and numerous parts of Scotland.
To embark on such a large expansion, even with a proven business model such as franchising, requires a lean and streamlined operating process, a motivated team and the flexibility to change daily work patterns to meet customers needs at short notice. 1st Choice Chem-Dry will be operating from two strategically based sites each with over 5,000 sq feet of space.
