    About Angel Berry

    As a result of International expansion, our clients are now seeking to appoint UK Franchisees and one Master Developer for all country regions worldwide. IF YOU ARE LIVING IN THE UK WITH CONNECTIONS ABROAD BY WAY OF FRIENDS, FAMILY OR BUSINESS PARTNERS THEN IT WOULD BE GREAT TO MEET UP AND DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITIES OF YOU BEING APPOINTED AS THE EXCLUSIVE MASTER DISTRIBUTOR FOR YOUR RESPECTIVE COUNTRY. This is a rare opportunity to build a business empire in your country with a national chain of Frozen Yogurt experiences; we say experiences, because that's what our customers are met with when they enter our premises. Grown men and women are turned into children again, as they explore the endless list of flavours to create their own 'Angel Berry' tasting experience......and as far as the children are concerned; well, it's far easier to get them into our Angel Yogurt parlour than it is to get them out! These are just a few comments from our customers: " Went to Angel Berry for the first time. I've just died and gone to heaven!" " I could live in Angel Berry!" " If you've never tried Angel Berry you've never lived!" Angel Berry have brought a new dimension to the Frozen Yogurt market as their ground breaking self service experience puts them in a league of their own. SUMMARY To be granted the 'Master Developer' rights to your chosen country for an unheard of low investment of �30,000 is an opportunity afforded to the very few. The pride and satisfaction of watching the growth of Angel Berry as more and more Frozen Yogurt experiences are opened up throughout your country region, will be worth more than money to you; it will give you status, huge respect and the highest self-esteem; and the bi-product of your growth and success of course, should automatically mean considerable financial rewards. With each Angel Berry parlour expected to bring in profits of �150,000 to �200,000 a year, there should be an income stream to satisfy even the most demanding of business entrepreneurs. When 'Angel Berry' becomes an Internationally recognized brand around the world, your small investment now could mature into a wealth making experience then. It only leaves us to say that when the Angel Berry brand gains International status, that we hope you will not only be reading about its success story in your country, but you will also be a part of it.
