Retail Food Franchise

If you are keen to buy a fast food outlet with lots of pressure and deadlines and hassle; to quickly produce food as and when customers come into the shop, then a Maggies Kitchen Store is NOT for you.

However, if you are looking for a food business where you cook and package up your products when it suits you; and serve your customers without any stress, strain or anxiety, in a restful peaceful atmosphere, then a Maggies Kitchen Store may be the business for you. Maggies Kitchen Store is a new Australian franchise; where gourmet foods are made in the shop, and then sold to the public. A Maggies Kitchen Store specialises in making preserves such as relishes, chutneys, pickles, sauces, mustards and jams.  The store also retails gift hampers with Maggies Kitchen home-made products, as well as boiled lollies, gourmet confectionery, kitchenware and gifts.

The Franchise Opportunity

• It offers a “sea-change”, a “move to the country” for people looking for a better quality of life, and keen to work for themselves
• The special recipes and the methods of making the gourmet products by Russell and Maggie Spokes can be taught to others.
• The products sold from the store are not a passing fad. Many people have always enjoyed, and will continue to enjoy home-made relishes, chutneys, pickles, sauces, mustards and jams.
• A gourmet food business, although it is usually stronger during holiday periods, is not particularly seasonal.
• The preserves and condiments are not unique to Queenscliff customers – relishes, chutneys, pickles, sauces, mustards and jams are bought by people from Darwin to Devonport, and from Bunbury to Byron Bay.
• A Maggies Kitchen Store location suits a smaller shopping area with walk by traffic and there are many such towns and suburbs throughout Australia.
• The franchise is an ideal husband and wife business. It could be located in many towns along the Mornington Peninsula, the Bellarine Peninsula, in Gippsland, in many regional Victorian towns, and in many Melbourne suburbs.
