To encourage entrepreneurship and boost business growth, convenience store chain Cheers under NTUC FairPrice announced on 10 January 2013 a new franchise programme at the first franchised store at Choa Chu Kang.
Open to Singapore citizens and permanent residents aged 25 years old and above, prospective franchisees will receive a three-month comprehensive training programme tailored for new or experienced entrepreneurs.
They can also expect ongoing guidance and support from an experienced team in areas such as financial management, service training, HR management and stock-taking.
FairPrice Chief Executive Officer Seah Kian Peng shared that Cheers had been growing steadily since it was set up 15 years ago and was now an established outlet with over 130 stores strategically located island wide.
"With the introduction of this franchise programme, we hope to encourage the spirit of entrepreneurship among Singaporeans and at the same time inject new energy into and accelerate the growth of the Cheers brand," he added.
