The greeting card publisher has confirmed one of its largest franchise territories is on the market.
The Exeter and Dorchester region extends from Hartland to Minehead in Somerset, through north Devon and to the east side of Dorset.
It is anticipated the area will be divided into two and sold as two separate franchise businesses.
“These franchise sales represent opportunities to acquire established businesses based on Card Connection’s highly regarded franchise model,” Michael Johnson, managing director of Card Connection, says.
“The region has been well managed by the outgoing franchisee and is for sale with the goodwill of an existing retail client base.
“In addition, Card Connection will provide all the necessary training and advice to the right candidates in order to support the successful handover of this platinum territory.”
Card Connection franchisees place greeting cards on a consignment basis in retail outlets. Cards and display equipment are supplied on ‘free loan’ to retailers, who only pay for what they sell.
Franchisees currently distribute greeting cards to around 14,000 outlets through its network of around 70 franchisees.
The Exeter and Dorchester franchisee delivers to more than 200 retail outlets and will continue to trade until the sale is complete.
