Case Studies
Dream Doors franchisees are people just like you. They’ve come from an array of different backgrounds; from sales, retail and the emergency services through to the armed forces, the IT sector and teaching. Hardly any have run a business before, and even fewer had any kitchen industry experience. What they all have in common is a desire to work for themselves, to take control of their lives and finances and benefit from the support and fast return on investment that Dream Doors has become renowned for.
“The earnings potential is far higher than anywhere else.”
“Developing myself, the earnings and what I can achieve for my family have been the most positive aspects for me. It’s been hard work, but I will re-sign my franchise for another five years without hesitation.”
Hear from our franchisees“After 10 years I still get a real kick out of this business”
“You do your first £65,000 month, then you hit £75k, £85k and suddenly you’re at your first £100k. That never gets old. Then you get to £130k and £150k – I still get a real kick out of that even 10 years on.”
Hear from our franchisees“Starting a business in the pandemic was a baptism of fire!”
“I’d had a franchise before and spent years researching different franchise opportunities. Dream Doors stood out for me and ticked all the boxes. Their standards are high and the products are first rate.”
Hear from our franchisees“It’s a superb model and the training is first-rate.”
“In my business life I’ve received a lot of training, but the support we’ve had from Dream Doors has been more professional than anything I’ve experienced before. It’s also a superb business model.”
