While a fellow franchise blogger wrote last week about the hopes for the pet franchise industry in the US, this week a UK pet franchise was leading by example through a welcome New Year donation to their local pets home.
Last week, Oscars Pet Food contacted us to tell us about their good deed for the RSPCA in Preston. Tails were wagging, when Oscars Pet Food franchisee, Paul Reilly delivered a whole tonne of pet food to his local independent charity for pets in need. The charity receives no financial aid from the government and relies on donations to keep up their work with pets in need.
Oscars were able to help out with their expert knowledge on animal nutrition and were able to provide the stray cats and dogs with a good healthy and nutritious meal.
To find out more about Oscars, why not visit their pet franchise profile, or to find out how you can help the RSPCA in Preston, visit their website: www.rspca-preston.org.uk
This year’s franchise show in Excel London (February 12th and 13th) will showcase the variety of franchise opportunities available in the UK and abroad today. The show will feature stands for franchises as broad reaching as print and sign, to health and beauty and pet franchises.
Those at the exhibition will have the chance to attend various talks from established figures in the franchise and entrepreneurship sector such as Steve Bolton of Platinum Property Partners, Professor Roy Seaman and Richard Holden – Head of Franchising for Lloyds TSB. To find out more about attending, visit the show’s profile on Franchise Direct.
Franchise Direct will also have a stand (no. 567 to be exact!) at the exhibition and the team is looking forward to meeting you there.

We’re back to work this week and what a week to be back! With icy conditions both in the UK and Ireland, and both countries running out of grit – it’s become even more difficulty to gain a foothold on the New Year.
However, some franchises are making it more difficult for people to get up and running this year with New Year reductions of their franchise opportunities. While a lot of franchises have waved goodbye to the economic downturn, many franchises still realise that people are struggling and are willing to give reductions in order to get new business owners into the industry.
Both Fortuna and FitKid are offering New Year offers on their franchise opportunities. So, whether you want to get into marketing or children’s fitness, both franchises are offering discounts on their initial franchise fee.
The New Year is a great time for resolutions and a fresh start, so why not browse our top franchise opportunities and see what exciting opportunities lie in store for you in 2010!
