Newcastle burger brand looks to go national with franchise plans

Newcastle favourite Burger Drop is set to make a big leap this year and go national with franchise plans.

Looking to dominate the national burger market, the restaurant chain is looking to open at least 150 stores across the country within the next 5-10 years.

A key figure behind this ambitious expansion is Paul Davies, a seasoned franchise director with a remarkable 30-year career in franchising, having contributed to the success stories of industry giants like KFC, Ben & Jerry’s and more recently Heavenly Desserts.

Hasan Hamid, co-director of Burger Drop, said: "We've worked tirelessly to create an amazing franchise offering with an incredible support team. Coupled with some of the most sophisticated training, auditing, and reporting tools in the industry, franchisees will have the opportunity to run a modern and highly profitable restaurant and delivery business."

Multiple stores are set to open this year, with three new Burger Drops in the pipeline.
