At our stall in franchise expo, I met many people. As I talked to them, I thought these are the people who could buy newsagencies. They had the money, ambition and drive.
I know newsagents are not franchises but they are not exactly free businesses either. A newsagency is the type of business that people looking at franchises would find appealing. Newsagency figures would be very good compared to many of the other businesses on offer there.
I think the newsagency industry missed a golden opportunity to sell their industry.
