Ableworld - Mobility Equipment Retail Franchise

Ableworld is the largest mobility retailer in the country in an industry valued at around £1.5 billion annually. The mobility retail sector is set to expand dramatically as the UK’s population is living longer and demanding a greater quality of life in their own homes.

The Ableworld franchise business model gives you two primary revenue streams. Firstly, there’s the retail store itself, which carries a comprehensive range of quality products including mobility scooters, chairs, wheelchairs and accessories and secondly, you will benefit from an additional stairlifts operation.

A Growing Franchise in a Growing Market

With approximately 750,000 people reaching retirement age each year there is a stable and increasing demand for the sort of products and services offered by the market leader, Ableworld. Mobility scooters, stairlifts, adjustable beds, wheelchairs and home aids have become increasingly needed in every part of the country.

In contrast to many other retailers, Ableworld is continuing to thrive and grow and are looking to open new locations across the country.
