“I can’t believe that I let Heno, my Springer Spaniel, plan my future but as my parents have been OSCAR customers for many years and all our dogs are excellent examples of a quality product, it was enough for me to be tempted when a local OSCAR franchise business became available in my area. Heno was in the background reminding me that I should take a look, and like a good pet owner I did!

With financial support from family, Alan Fulton was able to get back in control of his work life and set up his Cafe2U franchise in August 2014. Alan previously worked in the hospitality industry for 22 years, an industry which he loved, but unsociable hours which he didn’t. Alan was no stranger to franchising as his father had bought a ChipsAway franchise previously. However he was looking for a beverage based franchise so he could utilise his previous experience but without the unsociable hours, therefore, Cafe2U seemed the perfect option for him.

When I got home I researched Cafe2U and that was it, I knew this was what I wanted to do." Abi Ward, has been a Cafe2U franchise owner in Castle Donington since November 2019.
