Corporate stores have allowed us to test menus, develop marketing plans and understand the German consumer - but now that the ground work is done, it is time to drive our German expansion using our tried and tested franchise model," Batchelor added.
"We know the best way to get great results from stores is to put them in the hands of franchisees - and with five world-class franchisees now operating stores in the German market and more arriving shortly, we are excited about the future in this fledgling territory."
