Why Should I Purchase a Chop Wok Express™ Franchise?
Express is the way forward

We’ve honed-in on the best selling items from the menu used in our existing stores and streamlined the way they’re made and the amount of ingredients we use to come up with a one-page menu that’s easy on the eye, and easy for new franchisees to adopt. Express is the result of extensive consumer research across a variety of different Chop and Wok stores in the Midlands which has resulted in our own unique blend of sauces manufactured for us to use exclusively.
It’s a franchise, You’ve got access to everything you’ll ever need!
From business plans and cash flow forecasts, to staff contracts and food hygiene platforms. From marketing plans and tools to video-assisted menu manuals and complaint handling. You’ve got all the tools to fit into an already successful business and proven concept.
Best in industry fees
With a £15k franchise fee and fixed weekly support fees of £300 and no marketing fees, we won’t be beaten on fees.
No planning permission needed
Our operating model fits within the general retail premises planning guidelines and is not specialised.
Market leaders Social posts, Bloggers and Marketing support
We post 3 times a week across all our franchisee sub-channels. We arrange huge openings. We reach out to bloggers. We’re on billboards. We send press releases monthly. All this aside from the usual emails and text messages we send to your database.

Flexible with space
Airports, train stations, kiosks, service stations, holes in the wall or a traditional retail unit. We don’t mind so long as the financial forecast and business model makes sense.

How Well Do The Current Stores trade?

The above financials are held by us and all franchisees independently, in order to ensure that each store is on-track to achieve targets, and also to ensure that various margins are adhered to.
The data is taken from independently monitored management figures that each store has to complete on a weekly basis. Those management figures are taken from a daily cash-off document which again, each store must complete on a daily basis.
There are and always be practical reasons behind why certain stores fare better than others, such as store positioning/visibility, available delivery postcodes, opening hours and seasonality, however it is fair to say that the current estate varies in prominence, from fringe city centre locations to secondary high st and tertiary quasi-residential locations.
It should also be noted that some of the lesser performing stores open limited hours (evenings only / closed 1-2 days a week). Your franchise agreement will stipulate your opening hours once agreed in accordance with your circumstances.
