The Retail Franchise Boots Opticians opened its 20th franchise practice in February, having recently marked its 20th birthday. Since last July, Boots Opticians has converted six in store and three free standing practices to the franchise format.

Franchise development manager Deana O'Dare said We're extremely pleased both with the sales growth in these practices and the fact that the practice teams are happy and settled in the new businesses. There are three franchise openings in February with Ashby de La Zouch and Hull going live on February 1, followed by Gateshead on February 12.

Optometrist Richard Bowers, practice manager in Boots Opticians Braehead, Glasgow, is relocating as brand partner in Gateshead. He said, Ive had the ambition to manage my own business for a while now and Im really looking forward to working with the team in Gateshead to build a thriving business.
