Bright Eyes Sunglass franchise sees the light

The Bright Eyes Sunglasses franchise is continuing to create a national footprint, growing in both strength and numbers with 117 stores Australia-wide and several more due to open before the end of this calendar year.

For the second consecutive year the retail franchise achieved a listing in the BRW Fast 100 and was also voted ninth fastest growing Australian franchise in BRW’s 2005 special feature on Australian franchise systems.

Franchisees join the Bright Eyes Sunglass Group for a number of reasons. Entry cost is relatively low, products provide high profit margins, desirable locations, a national franchise system, and even as a lifestyle choice the business does not require any preparation before opening each day or staying late to clean up premises.

Opportunities also exist within the group to acquire more than one location. This practice is becoming more common with several franchisees owning between two and five stores.

David and Rebecca Vella, for example, joined Bright Eyes after selling a food franchise. They are now the proud owners of three stores and intend to keep growing their business. Meanwhile, Lyn Collard recently opened her fifth store and has now been in the system for a little over 10 years – clearly quite an achievement in a relatively short period of time.

For anyone looking to own a small business, with great sites available and continual growth expected the Bright Eyes Sunglass Group is a franchise opportunity well worth exploring.
