New franchise opportunities for fresh meat, deli

"Over the past few years the company has allowed independent retailers to use its brands in their outlets. Unfortunately many of these retailers did not share the company's passion for excellence and quality products, resulting in damage to the brand," remarks Kanhym's franchise champion Philip Smith.

Three store concepts

Three different models provide potential franchisees with an opportunity to own a first-class deli, selling excellent, quality-controlled products in a franchise model that suits their needs and budget.

The first concept is the fresh meat deli, which is a large butchery/deli, incorporating a walk-in cold-room and freezer facilities, as well as the butchery section and the sales floor area.

"A large proportion of the meat products are delivered in a pre-packed state, ready for the display fridges. However, the company also supplies some meat carcasses to the Deli to be cut and prepared to the customers' requirements," explains Smith.

This store also stocks a wide range of complementary sauces, spices, rubs, condiments and deli-style products. It has a chef/customer advisor on hand to advise customers on special cuts of meat, how to prepare them, plus provide samples of products on offer.

The smaller Fresh Meat Deli outlet focuses on a wide range of pre-packed fresh meat products, with a smaller range of complementary products.

The last is a small biltong deli outlet, selling a range of top quality biltong, droe wors and related products.

Company support

"The company will provide support by finding a suitable location for the deli, as well as designing and building it. Franchisees will also receive training and support from the company relating to all aspects of managing and marketing, both prior to opening and on an ongoing basis thereafter," concludes Smith.
