Why Crawley is an ideal franchise territory

A strong industrial and business base

Crawley has a strong concentration of workplaces, including Manor Royal Business District, home to over 600 businesses and 30,000 jobs across manufacturing, distribution, professional and technology sectors, creating opportunities for workplace vending.

A diverse range of potential customers

The wider territory offers a broad mix of businesses and workplaces, from offices and showrooms to factories, warehouses and retail sites, creating varied opportunities for a successful vending business in Crawley.

Excellent location and connectivity

Crawley benefits from excellent transport links, with the A23 and M23 providing access towards London, the M25 and South Coast, making it practical for franchisees travelling between customers across the territory.

An area with plenty of potential

Matt Buckingham currently services customers in the territory around one day a week and believes there is significant room for growth. He sees the existing customer base and Snack In-The-Box sales support as a strong foundation.

How your vending business works

Snack In-The-Box is a mobile, van-based vending franchise supplying snacks and drinks to workplaces. Franchisees receive a postcode territory and vending equipment, while the sales team helps generate initial and replacement customers. Once established, you visit customers regularly to replenish machines and snack boxes, check stock and keep everything running smoothly for customers throughout the wider Crawley territory.

Most franchisees spend around 35 hours each week servicing their customer base, mainly during normal working hours. You can also grow your business by finding new customers and developing your territory. Snack In-The-Box provides ongoing sales and marketing support, including workplace data, sales training, marketing materials and field-based assistance to help you build a sustainable local vending business.
