Birthplace of Take That’s Mark Owen and way back in 1858, the very fish and chip shop, 0ldham is now home to a population of over 230,800.  Forming part of Greater Manchester, it was the first industrialised town in England, once producing more cotton than anywhere in the world.  It also provided a young Winston Churchill his first step on the political ladder when he became the town’s MP in 1900. 

Today, this Card Connection territory boasts a turnover of over of £78k from over 190 outlets catering to a combination of rural and urban customers. The business is centered around Oldham and Rochdale, but also combines pleasantly with towns and villages in West Yorkshire, the territory offers a good balance of National Accounts and independent stores, including well-known brands like Blakemore, Booker and Nisa Stores. 

Card Connection franchisees provide greetings cards and other related products to retail outlets on a ‘consignment’ basis.  This is one step beyond ‘sale or return’ as retail customers don’t have to buy the stock initially; they only pay for what they sell.  This proven, award-winning business model has enabled hundreds of franchisees to run successful businesses since the early 1990’s.
