Franchise Opportunities

Become a Local English Grocer Partner

Bring a taste of home to your community – and build your own local business.

The English Grocer is expanding across Switzerland! We’re looking for motivated local partners who want to run their own micro-franchise, delivering British groceries and essentials to expat communities in their area.

Why Join The English Grocer?

Flexible & Part-Time – Work around your lifestyle. Operate mornings, evenings, or weekends from home or a small local depot/shop.

Community-Focused – Build real connections with your neighbours, workplaces, and schools, and with fellow expats. You’ll be the friendly local face of The English Grocer.

Family-Run Approach – Many of our partners share the work with a spouse, family member, or part-time helper for an ideal work-life balance.

Low Start-Up Costs – You only need a reliable vehicle (which can be tax-deductible) and local storage space (which can be at home to start). We handle the rest. Larger or bulk orders can also be fulfilled by our centralised depot.

Full Support – We provide:

  • Marketing materials & national advertising

  • Centralised administration & invoicing

  • Sales training and product sourcing

  • A ready-made contact book of local clients

Who We’re Looking For

  • Friendly, trustworthy people with strong local ties

  • Organised and proactive, with good communication skills

  • Basic understanding of English products and expat life in Switzerland

Your Role

  • Generate sales (and deliver to customers) in your area

  • Engage with the community through local events or social media

  • Grow your customer base with support from our marketing lead

Ready to Build Something of Your Own?
