FRANCHISE
Our International franchise stores are the cornerstone of our international business. initially where British expat communities are located, but more recently into countries such as Iceland and Norway catering primarily to the native population.
Our franchise business is based around a ‘mutual partnership’ meaning we plan and grow the business together. Please contact us to enquire about our franchise opportunities.
Internationally we have 53 franchise stores located in:
- – Spain
- – Portugal
- – Canary Islands
- – Channel Islands
- – Iceland
- – Norway
- – Malta
- – Greece
- – Czech Republic
Whilst the stores are all classified as ‘Iceland franchise stores’, we have adopted a flexible approach to store models which are respectful of the local community and environment. Whilst many of our franchise partners replicate our UK stores, there is always autonomy for our franchise partners to incorporate local products and bespoke marketing which we can produce via our in-house design studio.
We provide our franchise partners with support throughout the process of setting up their stores. Such as planning the design and layout of stores utilising our in-house teams, and providing access to our equipment supplier base offering competitive pricing.
Once your franchise stores are up and running, you will be allocated an Iceland Head Office based account manager and dedicated supply chain manager, who will support your business with both commercial and operational guidance.
** Please note that we do not offer franchise store options on the UK Mainland.
CONCESSIONS
Iceland International can offer a concession model as an alternative to a franchise store. We are able to offer bespoke international branding which can be adapted for any market.
Over the coming years, we will further develop our concession model and we expect significant growth in this area of our business. As this concept does not require a large capital investment, the option to open a concession makes accessing and partnering with Iceland an attractive proposition.
The concession model can be made to fit all categories, whether that be frozen, chilled or grocery. As well as having the ability to be formatted to any size, to suit all types of retail businesses. From a small independent store with limited space, to a multinational partnership where we can make a huge impact with our large range of quality, value-driven and innovative products.
As with our franchise stores, we can offer all equipment required at competitive rates, in addition to branding and marketing required to fit your market needs.
