Veeno franchisee plans to open up shop in Reigate in early July

John Spriggs first met with Veeno in October 2020, and the wine bar knew immediately that John would be a perfect fit.

Veeno saw John’s passion for the hospitality industry and the Veeno concept right away, and the wine bar says it is thrilled to welcome its newest recruit. Franchisor Rodrigue Trouillet said:

"We're so delighted to have John on board as our newest franchisee."

John, too, is ready to begin his new adventure with a Reigate-based branch of Veeno, saying,

“After a 20 year retail/wholesale/franchise career in fashion, I made the leap to F&B sooner than I thought I would. I had actually planned it for later in life as I had always wanted to use my professional experience coupled with my personal experience of Italy & Sicily and of course my love of wine! The past year being what it was made me realise that there couldn't be a better time to make the leap."

"Being new to the industry, but having knowledge of how the franchise world works, I knew that I shouldn't go it alone. I met with the Veeno Company as my first and subsequently only choice and have not looked back since. Fast forward 6 months and I am about to start trading. It is a hugely exciting time for me in my career and personally and I couldn't be more ready for what is to come. The Veeno Company has been by my side since day one and not only have I gained a wealth of knowledge and insight already, I am secure I made the right decision not to go it alone.”

John spent a few months searching for the perfect franchise unit location. His first port of call was Surrey, and soon enough, he found the perfect place for his Veeno franchise in Reigate. Work on the premises is due to finish by the end of this month, with John planning to open his brand new franchise location at the beginning of July.

Of his nearing opening date, John said, “It is a hugely exciting time for me in my career and personally and I couldn't be more ready for what is to come. The Veeno Company has been by my side since day one and not only have I gained a wealth of knowledge and insight already, I am secure I made the right decision not to go it alone.” If, like John, you’re interested in becoming a Veeno franchisee and benefitting from a high quality of franchisor support, you can find out more about the franchise via its profile page, linked above.
