Open your own Hop-In Express

Why become a franchise partner

A convenience store lives or dies on the details: the range, the layout, the till, the wholesaler terms, and now the online side too. We have worked those out in our own Eastleigh store, and a franchise means you start with them in place instead of learning them the expensive way.

What we set up

• Store setup

  Help with finding and fitting out the unit: layout, counter, chillers and the till system we run ourselves.

• Branding

  The Hop-In Express name, signage, colours and packaging, so your store looks like ours from day one.

• Shelving and layout

  A shelf plan that has been worked out in a live store, so the things people come in for are where they expect them.

• Product setup

  A starting range, wholesaler accounts and the price file loaded into the till, plus the online shop for your area.

• Operational support

  Ordering, stock, deliveries, age checks and the online order flow, with someone to call when you need them.

• Online from the start

  Your store on hopinexpress.com, with delivery slots, picking screens for staff and the same customer experience as ours.
