Tesco’s One Stop convenience subsidiary will showcase its franchise model at the National Convenience Show next week (7th – 9th April) as it looks to grow the operation.
Visitors to their stand (V300) will be able to learn more about the benefits of joining One Stop and meet some of One Stop’s existing franchisees.
Despite the challenging economic climate, One Stop has continued to grow and now has over 700 company-owned and over 350 franchise stores nationwide. The company stated that its Retail Franchise unit has a clear plan of growth, which will see it launch new initiatives aimed at setting it apart from the competition.
Stephanie Wood, Managing Director at One Stop Stores, said: “We’re excited to be exhibiting at the National Convenience Show again this year. We are here to guide retailers, whether they operate a small family business or a large convenience multiple enterprise, into being the best our industry has to offer. The show provides a great opportunity to see some of our newest innovations across franchise, technology and product.”
One Stop will also showcase its online delivery platform, which integrates all four of their delivery platform partners (Uber Eats, Just Eat, Deliveroo and more recently Snappy Shopper) into one centralised system.
The company noted that more independent retailers are recognising that online delivery is a lucrative opportunity to build an additional income stream and attract customers outside of their immediate catchment. “One Stop has seen exceptional growth in online sales over the last couple of years and is committed to investing in the technology and support that enables independent retailers to increase their sales in this efficient and profitable way,” it said.
NAM Implications:
- Retail attendees will benefit from direct comparison of One Stop with rival models at the show.
- An added benefit is the opportunity to explore the new One Stop online delivery platform…
- …integrating all four delivery platforms.
- Worth a thought…
