This is a rare opportunity.
The brand owner, Champagne Fromage, has secured a prominent dual-aspect corner on Brighton Place, in Brighton's historic Lanes.
This is not just a rare opportunity due to the location; it is rare because the franchisor took the opportunity to acquire the premises without a franchisee already allocated to the area. With a four-month rent-free period from lease completion, the transitional lease will be assigned to the approved franchisee.
With 44 covers including 18 external, the business plan, investment model, licensing work and site development are already well advanced, allowing the successful franchise partner to move forward significantly faster than with a typical new-site search.
Brighton was ranked number one out of 20 UK target cities under Champagne + Fromage’s internal site-selection process. Its strong visitor economy, affluent local market, year-round tourism and established food and drink culture make it a natural fit for the concept.
The established Champagne + Fromage brand has a proven operating model, full franchise training, launch and ongoing support. There is also potential additional revenue from events, private hire and off-site catering as well as the potential to develop additional locations.
The total opening and funding requirement is estimated at approximately £130,000 excluding recoverable VAT, including fit-out, equipment, franchise fee, deposit, professional costs, opening stock, launch marketing and working capital.
The mature-year model forecasting is approximately £590,000 net sales with £95,000 EBITDA after a £35,000 owner-operator salary and franchise fees.
Funding options may be available, subject to eligibility.
If you know Brighton you will know this location; one of the UK's leading visitor cities, affluent, an hour from London by rail, and busy year-round, with an evening and weekend culture, Brighton matches the Champagne Fromage criteria excellently.
So, if Brighton is your place and cost-effective experiential hospitality is your game, or you want it to be, do get in touch immediately to discuss.
