Restaurant Franchising: Explore our Opportunities


Open a franchise in the restaurant sector, a fast-growing market.
The UK restaurant market has been adapting with more mergers and acquisitions, operational efficiencies, and aligning with consumer trends such as premium ingredients, international cuisine, and more vegetarian options. These trends help franchises stay competitive and grow even in tough economic times.
Why choose one of our franchises?
Offbeat, innovative, a leader or even responsible, each of our partner brands has been selected for the quality of its support, the success of its concept and the values of its network head. Each of our franchises has that little extra something in its DNA that will make all the difference. There's bound to be a franchise for you on L'Express Franchise.
