The latest opening in The Cheesecake Shop network is the outlet at North Lakes, the fourth new store in Queensland in the last 12 months. Other stores have been unveiled at Wynnum, Springfield and Smithfield.

Nick Avgerinos, national franchise development manager of The Cheesecake Shop believes this is the start of a growing trend and the Queensland franchising market showing signs of confidence.

“These four stores have created jobs for approximately 25 people, most of which are younger people aged 16 to 21 years old.  A new store opening is more than a business opportunity, it has flow on effects for the local community.

“It has been a promising year for market growth in Queensland and we are planning to open two more new stores in Queensland later this year in Loganholme and Noosaville – both strong growth corridors,” Avgerinos added.
