A fire broke out at the head office of dessert franchise, The Cheesecake Shop, on Tuesday night, causing communication disruptions for franchisees.

The fire at the Villawood offices has not caused disruptions to deliveries, but franchisees were facing difficulties contacting the offices on Wednesday and Thursday.

Franchising magazine spoke to general manager, Ken Rosebury, after receiving an anonymous tip-off advising us to contact head office. Rosebury said the cause of the fire is unknown at this stage, however a police investigation is underway.

Communications at head office are back to normal as of today.
