Topaz Selects Card Connection as Exclusive Greetings Card Supplier
Card Connection’s four franchisees based within the region will now deliver and merchandise the company’s quality range of greeting cards to 120 Topaz forecourts throughout the Republic of Ireland. “Topaz has redefined the service station experience for Irish consumers in recent years,” confirms Andrew Cutler, sales and franchise director, Card Connection.
“Topaz is much more than just a fuel retailer and offering Card Connection’s range of almost 1,500 greeting cards will now help to extend the company’s offering within its convenience stores even further. “Our franchisees first began the roll-out of Card Connection seasonal stock in time for last Christmas,” continues Cutler.
“This was a challenge given the unprecedented weather conditions, but our franchisees delivered! Despite the difficult economic situation in the region, the greeting card market remains buoyant and we are looking forward to continuing to supply Topaz stores through our strong franchise network and helping the forecourt managers to add new revenue streams through the sale of our products.”
As well as many independent stores, Card Connection franchisees throughout the UK and Ireland also supply other key national accounts, including the likes of: BP, Costcutter, Londis, Netto, Budgens, Spar and Haldanes. Card Connection is part of UK Greetings, the largest publicly owned greeting card publisher in the world and has limited vacancies for franchisees who are keen to run an expanding business.
Successful candidates would ideally have some management experience as, once established, they would be expected to employ a small team, operate a warehouse and have several liveried vans on the road
. Because the franchise networks in the UK and Ireland are complete, the available opportunities now consist of acquiring an already-established territory from an existing franchisee. These vary in price according to their level of development, but start at £20,000 (+ stock) with earnings potential in excess of £50,000 per annum.
