July 01, 2008 - Singapore – The overwhelming success of a famous local bakery store in Singapore that has expanded in 9 other countries resulted from a single branch that only started 8 years ago. You can find 7-11 stores in almost every corner of the streets locally and internationally, deriving from the fact that it started from a store selling ice blocks. Giant brands did not always start big in their industry. They all started with a good idea through an outlet.
Franchise It, organised by Astreem Corporation, was held at NUSS located at Suntec City on 12th of June 2008. This half-day seminar covers the fundamentals of franchising for business owners. “Franchise It aims to provide business owners an overview of franchising and the processes involved in the development of a good franchise structure and program,” says Hsien Naidu who is the Founder and Director of Astreem.
