Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe

About Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe

Becoming a Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe franchise owner offers you the best of several worlds: the opportunity to be a successful business owner, running your own business your own way, but with the strength of an established, successful brand and the support of a highly experienced management team.

The company operates a traditional sweet shop franchise chain that provides a unique and evocative experience that caters for those with a sweet tooth and sweet lovers of all ages. Mr Simms prides itself on the breadth and quality of its huge range of products, which features lines from around the world alongside the best of British.

Greater than all of this though, is the opportunity to be part of something truly special – a much loved part of your local community, making life a little sweeter every day.

Mr Simms’ sweet shop franchise shops are effectively a network of independent local businesses operating in a wide variety of locations – from rural villages to seaside towns, tourist hot spots to bustling cities and town centre locations – and all under the same brand.

The company’s property portfolio covers a range of store sizes and formats, in both traditional high streets and modern retail centres. This diversity is part of Mr Simms’ unique character, but without careful management, it also risks confusing customers and undermining the brand’s sense of value.

Mr Simms’ vision and values provide the common ground upon which we can all stand together and set a new standard for traditional British sweet shops around the world.

How does the Mr Simms franchise model work?

 
This company offers its franchisee the freedom to operate independently, while complying with the Mr Simms tried and tested business model.

It offers full support right from the beginning, whether it is finding a location, shop design, training and product guidance or visual merchandising, operational, digital marketing and special wholesale prices from the company’s own warehouse.

Mr Simms charges an initial franchise fee and a monthly flat fee.

What type of franchisee is Mr Simms looking to recruit?

The company is renowned for its enthusiastic, friendly, cheerful and chatty style, so expects franchisees to share the values and attributes you look for in a personal shopping experience.
