The following link is a list of areas and towns where Thorntons would like to develop a franchise. The list is not exhaustive, if you know of a town or area that doesn’t have a Thorntons store or franchise and it isn’t on the list please do not discount it, simply get in contact with Thorntons to discuss.

When considering a town and location please consider the following points:

The Location

• Ideally it needs to be in a busy location; for example a high street or shopping centre where there is defiantly lots of foot fall.
• Where there are lots of high street brands.
  
  The Property
  
  
• The overall size of the unit is ideally 1000sq ft.
• You need to allow for a sizeable stock room
• Water and electrical supply on ground floor
• The sales floor needs to be level in order to comply with DDA requirements 1.
  
  The Lease should be for a minimum of 10 years. This allows the Thorntons Franchise a chance to establish itself and go from strength to strength. We are opening the Franchise to stay in a position rather than searching a quick result.
  
  At no point in time anybody can "claim" a town or location.
  
  It is Thorntons discretion who we are developing with, when and under which circumstances.
  
  Please contact us at the earliest opportunity to discuss.
