Popular Franchises in Sussex

With a population of half a million in Brighton alone(!), Sussex is one of the best places to open a franchise. Thanks to its size, it's split into East and West Sussex, both sides just as good as the other for opening a business. With plenty of tourist destinations such as Arundel Castle, and many open spaces, Sussex is a great place to be a business owner.

From Hastings to Littlehampton, there is no shortage of seaside towns constantly drawing in visitors. This makes cafe and restaurant businesses a top choice, plus hotels will always be in demand. Beneficially, opening a hotel franchise enables you to be a part of a proven and recognised brand, contributing to your success.

With the beautiful South Downs landscape, many people in Sussex love walks and it's not uncommon to see people walking their dogs (or even horses) on the expansive grassy national park. As a result, pet food and pet care franchises are constantly in demand, so that's dog washing, pet food supplies, sometimes even cat and pet sitting.
