From cabbie to Cash Generator

Patrick is now running the Middleton store and has found both security and success from being part of a franchise business.

Patrick commented: “After hearing about Cash Generator from a staff member I was intrigued to find out more. When I looked into the company, all of the stores were performing well and I wanted to invest in a brand that seemed to be experiencing fantastic growth.

“The open day was the deciding factor for us; after seeing how organised the company is and how well head office runs, it was an easy choice to make. The move from cabbie to Cash Generator was the biggest decision I’ve ever made and I think I’m still in shock, but it’s a good shock and I’m glad I did it.”

Local businessmen target Lancashire expansion

Born and raised in Blackburn, the pair have recently opened their second store in Darwen after the success of their first store, which opened in Blackburn city centre a year ago. Paul, 27, worked in retail for five years, before deciding to invest in a Cash Generator store with his brother-in-law Michael, an economics graduate.

Paul commented: “The Cash Generator business model, which works well in all climates, impressed me, and I felt comfortable working in retail. The diversity of the financial services also provided the challenge I was looking for.

Support from Cash Generator has always been superior, with Paul adding: ‘When I first met the Cash Generator team I was really impressed with the senior staff. They had big plans for the company which have all come to fruition since I met them three years ago.

“Now there are more exciting plans for the future in place and I am looking forward to working towards those. It really is a two-way street, the more supportive, proactive and transparent the business is, the more every franchisee, including myself, wants to perform well and invest in that brand.

“Michael and I really enjoy working together and the store is a family business with everyone chipping in when necessary. The express store is a relatively new concept which has proven popular throughout the North West so we are really excited about replicating this success in Lancashire.”

Cash Generator 2012 Open Days is a post from: Cash Generator

Cash Generator welcomed 13 new franchisees on board last year who opened stores from Redruth in Cornwall up to Glenrothes in Scotland after recognising the potential in the national discount retail chain.

Many of the new franchisees made the move to Cash Generator from non-retail backgrounds, with taxi drivers, farmers and hotel owners now all enjoying the rewards from opening their own store. Looking for a business that could prosper in challenging trading conditions, many new franchisees found the answer in Cash Generator.

“2011 was a phenomenal year for us as consumers turned to us to not only bag a bargain, but also recognised the fair deal we offer on buying unwanted items.”

The growth is continuing at pace into 2012 with Cash Generator expecting to open its 200th store next month. With plans to open 70 stores nationally this year, the chain has its sights firmly set on even greater expansion.

The Cash Generator offering continues to be extremely popular with consumers across the UK and footfall is increasing week-on-week at many stores across the network. As one of the only high street retailer’s offering a fair deal on buying a whole host of pre-owned goods, Cash Generator is expecting to see footfall continue to rise as the year progresses

The national retailer is continuing to invest in the brand over the next 12 months with an exciting new TV advertising campaign due to hit screens next month. This continued investment, along with the backing and support offered to franchisees ensures Cash Generator remains an attractive franchise proposition for those looking for a new challenge.

The end of year success can be attributed, in part, to the 12 week see it, save it scheme, which helps customers spread payment costs at a time when budgets are stretched.

The popular initiative has been welcomed by franchisees, who benefit from the security of consistent payments over a three month period.

2011 also saw the roll out of the popular express store concept, with seven express stores opening across the UK in the last 12 months, increasing footfall in high traffic areas.

Offering convenience for consumers, Cash Generator express stores are located on busy arterial routes, combining high visibility for motorists and easy access for local residents, bringing people through to the store from the surrounding areas.

The pace of footfall growth for Cash Generator has been exceptional throughout 2011 and only looks set to increase further throughout 2012 with an exciting year ahead.

Both Andrew and Helen are new additions to the franchisee family and it will be a big career jump for the pair. Andrew has owned and operated a successful property company in the area for the last 15 years with the support of Helen.

The new store will be operated on a franchise basis with the support and security of Cash Generator.

Looking for a franchise business that would weather the tough economic climate, while benefitting from a strong brand with clear growth potential, Andrew found the solution in Cash Generator. Commenting on his new store, he said: “I am really excited about embarking on a new challenge. Leeds has a fantastic high street at the heart of its community and I am delighted to have invested in a town that I believe has a very promising future.

“Cash Generator is such an attractive proposition as we are able to offer savvy shoppers the chance to get a good deal, as well as instant cash for their unwanted items.”

Located in the heart of the community, the Kirkgate store was the 44th store to open last year with the total number of stores now over 180 across the UK.

Two stores in 12 months!

Ringing in the new year with both the Cowley and Trowbridge franchises under their belts, Wiltshire based entrepreneurs Cliff and Joanne Barry have been going from strength to strength with the support of Cash Generator.

Cliff commented: “The people at Cash Generator are a great asset, they are very helpful and the training that I received prepared me for the opening of both stores.
I know I can phone my regional manager at anytime to get advice and help.”

Following the success of their first store, Cliff and Joanne wanted to build on the strong opportunity Cash Generator offers and identified great potential in Trowbridge as one of the largest shopping towns in West Wiltshire.

In a boost for the town centre, the new Trowbridge store on Fore Street took over the site of a former shoe store, which was previously vacant for six months, and was praised for creating four jobs for the community.

“We have learned that a Cash Generator store becomes part of the community. Our customers develop very close relationships with all the staff at the store and wherever possible we recruit our team from the local community.”

Located in the heart of the community, the Trowbridge store was the 45th store to open this year and brought the total number of stores to over 180 across the UK.

Stores have opened in Middleton and Keighley, welcoming three new franchisees to the fold.

At the helm of the Middleton store is Patrick O’Shea, who made the move to being a franchisee from a career as a black cab driver. Keighley has been set up by brothers Michael and Chris Huntington, who both recognised the security and support that comes with running a franchise with Cash Generator.

With over 180 stores in total, the UK franchise business is well on its way to hitting its predicted target of 200 stores by early 2012.

Visitor numbers exceeded 2 million by the end of 2011, a phenomenal 65 per cent increase on the previous year.

As more and more franchisees realise the benefits of uploading products to the website, figures show that revenue generated from web sales in 2011 was triple that of 2010.

Cash Generator is a truly multi-channel business and franchisees have embraced the Cash Generator website as they have looked to reach a wider audience and increase sales.

The website has enabled franchisees to have a national ‘shop window’ and sell to customers across the UK, in addition to its core local customers in the 3 mile radius of the store. The website also benefits regular store customers, as they can browse the items that are in store before visiting.

The investment that Cash Generator makes in TV advertising has also boosted traffic to the website. Following the September TV advertising campaign, traffic to the website doubled in the last quarter of the year and this success is only set to continue with the company’s ambitious expansion plans for 2012.
