Card Connection Franchisee Doubles Size Of Business

Franchise Wire:

Leading greeting card publisher and franchisor, Card Connection, has announced that its Chelmsford franchisee, Paul Davis has just doubled the size of his business with the acquisition of the neighbouring Colchester territory.

‘Our greeting card distribution franchises have always been particularly popular,’ confirms Robina Every, managing director of Card Connection. ‘However, we are seeing a growing trend where our existing franchisees are snapping up neighbouring territories if they become available. This allows franchisees to expand their businesses very rapidly – taking advantage of what is effectively a recession-proof industry.’

Card Connection itself is one of the UK’s largest card publishers and is the market leader in the franchised distribution of greeting cards. Using a proven system, franchisees place greeting card ranges in retail outlets on a ‘consignment’ basis. The merchandising service provided to retailers by local franchisees is second to none and has established the company’s excellent reputation especially within the convenience sector. Card Connection supplies numerous national accounts, which include the likes of Total, Costcutter, Budgens, Londis, Spar and Shell.
