CONTENTS

The franchising sector in Australia is worth $144 billion, and there are 6000 more franchised businesses trading now than there were in 2012. And with a recent industry survey recording 1160 different franchise systems operating here, there is more than enough choice for anyone to pick a business that will suit their aspirations and budget. Choosing a franchise can be an easy process for some, for others it takes plenty of market and brand research. Perhaps you know the type of business you want to run, perhaps you have one or two brands you have selected, perhaps the idea of investing in a business is new to you. Whatever your circumstances, finding out more about franchise systems, their franchisee successes, the management team and expansion plans can only benefit your search for the perfect franchise. Take the opportunity to read this publication and find out more about just a handful of the franchise brands focused on expanding their networks. It’s a great way to understand more about what these brands are highlighting in 2015. SARAH STOWE EDITOR

CAFE2U

FRANCHISING: A FAMILY AFFAIR

WENTY FIVE YEAR OLD LOUIS TU LOVES THE CAFE2U FRANCHISE MODEL SO MUCH HE WANTED TO SHARE THE SECRETS OF HIS SUCCESS WITH THOSE CLOSEST TO HIM. HIS RECOMMENDATION HAS LED TO HIS BROTHER AND TWO CLOSE FRIENDS JOINING HIM AS HIGH FLYING CAFE2U FRANCHISE PARTNERS. Louis Tu bought his first Cafe2U franchise in Greenacre at 22 years of age, after initially leasing the business from the owner. Leasing allowed him to establish whether the business was right for him. Clearly the Cafe2U model was a great fit for Louis as he is currently in the process of buying his third franchise. “I really enjoyed the business as a whole – from making coffee to how the franchise was set up and for me it was

an easy decision to buy it from the owner”, Louis says. “I bought my second van because my first was so successful - I wanted to expand and I also wanted to help out my younger brother. I suggested he come out with me on my run – he instantly understood why I loved it so much.”

LOUIS HAS INTRODUCED HIS BROTHER, ERIC TO THE CAFE2U FAMILY

Louis’s brother then took over the Greenacre territory which allowed Louis to focus on buying his second franchise – this time in the Homebush Bay area. Louis’s family saw his success and wanted a piece of the action. “My older brother saw my success and he was really keen to become a Cafe2U franchise partner too. “Fortunately for him, he was able to acquire the Lidcombe Cafe2U franchise which was really close to home and close enough for me to help, guide and support him to do well.”

was closely followed by family friends Joanne Valdes and Andrew Tee who now run a very successful franchise in the Botany area. Recently Louis sold his highly successful Greenacre franchise to another friend who is also enjoying success.

The success of the Tu family

Louis says his business success can also be attributed to the Cafe2U Acceleration Package and the ongoing support he receives from the franchisor – he would recommend anyone looking to buy a franchise to consider Cafe2U. FRANCHISE INFORMATION PHONE: 1300 223 328 | WEB: www.cafe2u.com.au

“The franchisors have helped with successful launches of the businesses and starting strong from the beginning is the key to ongoing success,” he says. “If you are sick of 9 to 5 jobs and want to challenge yourself to do better, take a chance on Cafe2U. It’s not a big investment but big results are possible if you stay focused”. The future is looking bright for Louis who is now in the process of buying Cafe2U Alexandria which he plans to lease to another friend. P

ENVIE FITNESS FOR WOMEN

FEMALE FITNESS FRANCHISE BOOSTS EXECUTIVE TEAM WITH ADDITION OF FRANCHISE AND FITNESS VETERAN

NVIE FITNESS FOR WOMEN, A BREAKTHROUGH CONCEPT IN THE WOMEN’S FITNESS INDUSTRY, ANNOUNCES THE APPOINTMENT OF LIBERTY HARPER AS DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS. The addition of Harper to the executive team signals a continued focus on growing the business and the momentum behind the EnVie brand, which already has nine operating studios in Australia and has opened its first two studios since launching in the US.

In her new position, Harper will oversee the operations and development of programming for all franchise studios, as well as be responsible for the training of new franchisees. She will also direct the development of financial goals and sales targets of all of EnVie’s global regions. “Liberty is a momentous gain for the EnVie brand,” says CEO Dave Hundt. “More than her knowledge, experience and productivity with some of the franchise industry’s top brands, Liberty brings a relentless determination to help others reach their goals, whether in franchising, fitness or both. She is a perfect fit to the EnVie culture.” Harper joins EnVie with more than 16 years of experience in franchising, marketing and fitness/health/beauty. She has served as both a franchisee and franchisor, co-owning two Curves fitness franchises in the late 1990s and creating and managing the 65-unit Liberty Fitness franchise chain in the 2000s. As the founder and CEO of The Harper Consulting Group, she has also specialized in franchise and marketing

consulting with numerous companies – including Total Woman Gym + Spa, iTAN, Fatburger and KidzArt, among others – having worked with them to grow their businesses across the US, Middle East and Asia. “The women’s fitness industry has not seen anything like this since Curves arrived with its smallish clubs; fastpaced, station-to-station workouts that would fit nicely into a lunch hour. With studios that are twice the size, have more variety of equipment and offer personal training and group classes, EnVie is breaking open the market with a new concept custom-built to meet the

realistic demands of today’s woman,” Harper says. “I couldn’t be more excited about joining the team and doing my part to help build a successful new concept that is miles ahead.” ABOUT ENVIE FITNESS FOR WOMEN Founded in Australia in 2012, EnVie Fitness for Women is a breakthrough concept in the women’s fitness industry, offering an exceptional experience tailormade to meet today’s female needs and interests.

HAIRHOUSE WAREHOUSE -

SUPPORTING BUSINESS OWNERS MAKING THE SWITCH

AIRHOUSE WAREHOUSE IS AUSTRALIA’S LEADING HAIR AND BEAUTY BRAND, WITH PLANS TO GROW TO 170 STORES BY THE END OF 2017.

Although prospective franchisees don’t require any hairdressing experience, they do need to have a strong work ethic, personal drive, courage and self-belief. PROVEN SUCCESS Hairhouse Warehouse’s success is built on a commitment to helping franchisees get ahead. The business model is built around an operating system that’s proven successful for more than 20 years, providing multiple revenue streams for franchisees. The brand seeks motivated franchisees with a desire to operate their own business as part of a brand that supports their growth. WHAT IT TAKES TO BE SUCCESSFUL Peter and Michelle Christo are a husband and wife team who own both the Geelong and Watergardens Hairhouse Warehouse stores. Both made successful career changes before they made the leap - Peter was a sergeant in the Victorian Police Force

for 15 years, and Michelle worked in hospitality. Twelve years ago they decided it was time for a lifestyle change and embarked on a quest to find a profitable, stable and successful business. THE ADVANTAGE Hairhouse Warehouse was Peter and Michelle’s choice because of its compelling product and service offering. “No other competitor is close to what our brand offers,” Peter explains. “Hairhouse

Warehouse provides a service to people that makes them feel better. I am very proud to be with a business that is truly passionate about our customers and continually meeting their needs.” The success of their Hairhouse Warehouse salons has given Peter and Michelle financial stability and valuable peace of mind. “As part of the Hairhouse Warehouse family, I’ve achieved real business accomplishments, which wouldn’t have happened had I stayed in my previous

profession,” Peter says. “Being a part of a business that’s constantly evolving with the changing trends and shares my passion and values helps me stay motivated about achieving more and more.” WORDS OF ADVICE As a final tip for anyone thinking about joining the Hairhouse Warehouse Franchise family, Peter says, “Be prepared to work hard – really hard. Follow the system, don’t stray and you will succeed”. P
