A really interesting British kitchen manufacturer AND retailer. Started about 15 years ago as a straight supplier, they moved into their own retail franchising brand just a few years ago and now have nearly 20 showrooms across the country.</p><p><br></p><p>As we have discussed on this very podcast before franchising is really building a significant momentum - Kutchenhaus, Nolte, Schmidt, and Magnet are just a few but Kesseler is slightly different as it is distinctly British.</p><p><br></p><p>But that's not all, as we will here, they also run <a href=\"http://online-bedrooms.co.uk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Online-Bedrooms.co.uk</a> - an increasingly successful brand that sells fitted bedroom furniture, well, online.</p><p><br></p><p>So how have they done it? What's their strategy? How do you build a retail brand from scratch? And how many Kesseler showrooms do they actually want?</p><p><br></p><p>Such an interesting story from two real forward-thinkers!</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"kbbreview, Andrew Davies"}
