South Africa’s fastest growing franchising business, Gold Brands Investments, will be exhibiting two of their much-loved franchise brands at the upcoming International Franchise Expo, taking place from April 8 to 10 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.

“The expo is an ideal platform for us to showcase our innovative and user-friendly business franchise model,” says Gold Brands COO Stelio Nathanael.

“Thousands of people who are looking for an opportunity to start their own business will be there, and our teams will be on hand to talk them through the entire process and explain what makes our franchises such an unbelievable success story.”

The two brands to be exhibited are Chesa Nyama, which has grown from a single store at Wits University in 2012 to more than 300 stores across South Africa, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Botswana, Namibia and Lesotho, and Blacksteer, the "original South African steak house" since 1963.

The 2016 International Fran- chise Exhibition hosted in South Africa brings together a variety of franchise businesses for sale for you to shop around and explore.
