The UK Franchise Growth Index
Twine Growth’s UK Franchise Growth Index tracks bakery franchise networks operating in the UK. Part of the Index’s Food and Drink industry, the Bakery category covers bakery cafés and specialist brands selling cakes, doughnuts, cookies, brownies and pretzels.
Investment figures are published by 7 of the 15 networks here, so the average describes those 7 only and should not be read as a figure for the whole category.
About this category
See which bakery brands are recruiting franchisees, where each brand originated and whether it belongs to the British Franchise Association. Individual profiles show published starting investments, investment ranges and location counts where available.
The Index assesses each network against the Five Fibre Framework™ using publicly available evidence. The category scores show how bakery franchises compare with the wider UK franchise market on franchise readiness, operating systems, launch, network expansion and local marketing.
