Business in general has become highly competitive and pharmacies have not escaped this net. Internationally and locally, indications are that small independent pharmacies operating in isolation will find it increasingly difficult to compete with chain store operators who enjoy the kind of volumes and brand recognition one can only build with the help of massive advertising budgets. The reality and good news is that the amount of goodwill and loyalty the Sparkport brand enjoys in its traditional markets, and increasingly beyond, is without equal in its field. Proof of this is our client and patients, who for six years in a row (2004 - 2009) voted us as their No.1 Choice Pharmacy.
It follows therefore that the combined strength of the Sparkport Franchise network makes it possible to level the playing field, to the benefit of all its members. The reputation of the Sparkport brand is more than coincidence or good luck. To build it took lots of time and money, and involved more than the design of an appealing logo and the creation of a nice colour scheme, and although today, we can rightfully claim market dominance in the areas with in which we operate, we are acutely aware that our position is not unnassailable.
Our commitment to ethical and professional franchising is embodied in us being registered as a pharmacy franchisor with the Franchise Association of South Africa (FASA) and therefore subscribe to the principle of ethical franchising and practices as embodied in the associations Code of Ethics and Business Practises. Our franchise network is expected to grow rapidly in the next 3 years by which time we plan to be an established national chain. Prospective franchisees are invited to take advantage to the opportunities and join our family.
It is in the nature of the Franchise relationship that the ongoing success of the franchisor is inextricably linked to the success of the majority of the network’s franchisees. The Sparkport franchise is no exception to this rule and we will do everything possible to make our franchisees successful. To ensure that we can deliver on our promise, we have put a significant infrastructure in place that provides both initial and ongoing assistance to our franchisees.
