I actually worked for the CHIPS for about 17 yrs as sales assistant then climbed to manager then operations manager. I opened a number of franchises for CHIPS and soon realised that I could open my own.
Franchisee Testimonials
Faisal Ali – CHIPS Chorlton
I chose franchising as it involves a proven business model. In the case of CHIPS, the backup of experienced industry insiders is a valuable asset to running the business.
Paul and Alan Whitfield – Guisborough
We wanted a well-established organisation which can help and support new franchisees with business and training and increase the potential for success.
Susan Lake – Stafford
I was looking to set up on my own, but could not decide which route to take. I sent away for the British Franchise Association’s franchise pack and after reading through it, I decide that franchising offered great support and expertise. Though a little more expensive at first, I thought I would be more likely to succeed as a franchisee.
Steve Morton – Hartlepool
I had worked for CHIPS for 14 years, starting as a Saturday lad when I was at college. Over the years I worked my way up to store manager and then Group area Manager, running the day-to-day operations of the six company stores. Owning my own franchise was the next logical step.
