Recently, the GWR-inspired chain of coffee shops became the recipient of this prestigious award, a welcome recognition after a challenging year.
Centenary Lounge shared the wonderful news about its win on Facebook on August 2nd, expressing that it was, “Time to ‘blow our own whistle’ as we are delighted to share with you that we have received the Tripadvisor 2021 Traveler’s Choice Award… Choo choo!!” After an unpredictable and at times very difficult year thanks to the impact of COVID-19, this award comes as a real win for the coffee shop franchise.
This isn’t the first time that the business, whose coffee shops are inspired by the original 1930s Art Deco period, has been honoured by Tripadvisor, as it’s also been awarded the Certificate of Excellence for seven years in a row. Now, the Traveller’s Choice Award is yet another signifier of Centenary Lounge’s impressive journey. Each year, the franchise is growing at a substantial and impressive rate, attracting thousands of UK customers and expanding its team.
To join the Centenary Lounge family, you’ll need to make a minimum initial investment of £75,000, with franchise fees of £15,000 and a total investment cost of £150,000. In return for your investment, you’ll receive a programme of initial training, mentoring, operational support, site search, acquisition, design and fit-out support, project funding and marketing assistance.
In the words of Centenary Lounge, “Because of our unique style and elegance, we feel our store proposition can give a franchisee the unique option of multi-site acquisitions of varying investments within a single franchise company, opening their portfolio nationally in 2021 and internationally in 2023.” If you’d like to become a franchisee, you can find out more about the company via its profile page, linked above.
