Panku Franchisee Hits Best-Ever Sales Week Just Six Weeks After Taking Over Sushi Counter.
A new Panku franchisee is already seeing impressive results just six weeks after taking over the Japanese food counter in ASDA, Shirley, achieving his best-ever sales week, demonstrating the potential for business growth with the right support.
Since taking over the counter, Md Abul Kalam Azad has continued to build momentum, with sales growing week-on-week as he puts his experience into practice, benefitting from the support of the wider Wonderfield Group, the parent company behind Panku and YO!
Md Abul Kalam Azad attributes a key part of his success to the ongoing guidance of a dedicated Regional Manager, who provides ongoing operational support to maximise business performance:
‘It’s great to see the success of the Shirley kiosk being recognised, and I’m pleased to share this positive news. I really appreciate the support I’ve received from Panku, my Regional Manager, and the wider Wonderfield Group since taking over the counter.’
As well as a dedicated regional manager, each Wonderfield Group franchisee benefits from wider operational and national marketing support with full training, access to an established supply chain, operational guidance, marketing support and all the tools needed to hit the ground running from day one.
The early success in the Panku kiosk in ASDA, Shirley; highlights how the combination of a committed franchisee, together with a proven brand, in partnership with a national supermarket and strong operational infrastructure gives new franchisees the foundations they need to grow.
Following record success earlier this year, The Wonderfield Group is currently looking for new franchisees across the UK and Ireland as they look to build on their incredible sales momentum. If you have a successful background in hospitality, a passion for good food and customer service, and a growth mindset, don’t miss your chance to work with one of the UK’s most rapidly growing food brands.
