Already a free-from cake shop in your area? Don’t let that stop you from starting your own

Here’s why proof of demand matters far more than being first to market

Is there already a shop near you offering free-from cakes and treats? If so, it shouldn’t be a reason why you shouldn’t consider opening one yourself. See it as proof that the demand is already there.

Success in business rarely comes from inventing something nobody has ever thought of before, because ideas like that are pretty rare. Far more often, it comes down to giving customers what they already clearly want, but doing it noticeably better than whoever’s currently serving them.

Better quality, better service, better value.

Why be the first, when you can just be the best?

That’s exactly the mindset behind the Eggless Cake Shop franchise. The brand doesn’t shy away from competition. Rather, it welcomes it, because its team believe in what they’re offering. A rival cake shop in your area tells us the market has already been tested. The only real question is who local customers end up choosing.

The last three people to join the Eggless Cake Shop franchise all told me the same thing when they were weighing up their decision. Before signing anything, they went out and tasted the products for themselves, and that taste test turned out to be one of the biggest factors in their decision.

If you’re genuinely considering this opportunity, I’d encourage you to do the same. You’ll get the chance to try the full range at a Discovery Day, of course, but there’s no need to wait until then. It’s well worth calling into one of the many Eggless Cake Shop locations around the UK before that, or even ask for a few samples when we have our first discovery call with Bill.

Confidence in the product is only part of the reason people invest

Eggless Cake Shop franchisees are also attracted by practical advantages like:

• A lower investment than many other retail and F&B franchise brands
• A quick, streamlined setup to get your store open and trading
• No baking on-site, with all products prepared centrally to simplify day-to-day operations
• Lower overheads and a business model designed to keep your focus on serving customers rather than making the products
