Established 3 sandwich bars on the Gold Coast with the purpose of franchising. We had stores in Stocklands Burliegh Heads, Pacific Fair Broadbeach and Southport, this was an exceptional learning period for myself as i learnt about the economics of business. These businesses were unfortunatly unsuccessful as we tried to grow to fast and over capitalized on our investment. But in retrospect i believe this was the greatest investment of my life.
