Spring is finally here! For many people across the UK, today is the start of a relaxing four day weekend in celebration of Easter. But don’t forget – April Fool’s Day is also on Easter Sunday, so keep an eye out for those pranksters filling your Easter eggs with something less delicious than chocolate. Whatever you’re celebrating this weekend, you can take part in the fun presented by some national franchises. In this edition of Friday Franchising News, catch up on the latest spring deals, egg-citing festive treats, and April Fool’s fun:

April Fools! – ChipsAway ‘Launches’ Mobile Fish and Chip Business

ChipsAway, the originators of the SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) repair process, jokingly announced that they would be developing a sister company to launch into the takeaway food market – a mobile fish and chip shop foodtruck concept called ChipsAway! The company states that the concept was inspired by 25 years of misconception about the services the business provides, and since the UK takeaway food market is predicted to grow by 13% in the next five years, of course the brand thought, “Why not?!”. The prank press release even reports trialling the concept with several of the brand’s existing car repair services with fantastic results. While a perfectly apt alternative brand, the ChipsAway foodtruck franchise won’t actually be launching on 1 April, but interested investors can still take advantage of the successful mobile car repair franchise.

Shakeaway Releases Its Limited-Edition Easter Shakes Menu

Shakeaway, the world’s largest milkshake bar company, is kicking off spring with the launch of its egg-citing limited-edition Easter shakes menu, featuring six special handmade-to-order shakes to choose from. Each shake comes with two flavours and a free topping: the Daffodil Dawn shake blends biscoff spread with chocolate and is topped with Smarties; the Terry Tulip shake is a mix of Mars Bar and Oreo Cookies topped with Milkybar Buttons; for white chocolate lovers, the Susie Snowdrop shake is made with MilkyBar and raspberries and is topped with marshmallows; the Paula Primrose shake blends strawberries and blueberries and is topped with nuts; the Healthy Heather is a blend of banana and honey topped with granola; and lastly, the Daisy Donna is the ultimate Easter shake with a double portion of Creme Egg topped with fresh whipped cream. Perfect for the long weekend and a happy, and hoppy, Easter. Shakeaway’s shakes are available in all stores until Monday 2 April.
