Unzè Marks 18 Months With 15 Franchisees

The Franchise Magazine:

Unzè by Shalimar Shoes is strutting its stuff in more than 15 locations across the UK and Ireland just 18 months after launching the franchise. Franchise Director, Kamran Saleem says the interest in Unzè’s own-label ladies shoes and matching accessories has been ‘phenomenal’.

‘Every store we have opened so far has attracted queues of people eager to sample our unique range of innovative and stylish shoes,’ he said. ‘We have 15 franchised and 4 company-owned stores and 7 more opening soon.’ Unzè is also attracting interest from overseas investors and has opened its 1st international store in New York, with stores in Holland and California scheduled to open before the end of the year.

Franchise Development Services Consultant Paul Hague, who has assisted Unzè in the development of the franchise, congratulated Kamran on the success of the brand at the recent National Franchise Exhibition. ‘I’m very proud to be associated with Unzè,’ he said. ‘It was clear from the start that Unzè was a great concept. It has a fantastic product range that has real selling power, and a friendly, caring head office team focused on driving the business forward.’
