Fancy Fries, one of the UK’s fastest-growing mobile catering franchises, has announced an exciting new venture – bringing its popular loaded fries concept to Scotland. The company, which has experienced rapid success since its inception, is now offering a limited number of franchise opportunities for entrepreneurs keen to join the growing food truck trend.
Founded in 2015 by James Hipkiss, Fancy Fries began as a humble street food stall in Birmingham and has since evolved into a nationwide phenomenon. The brand has become synonymous with high-quality food, innovation, and a strong sense of community, quickly establishing a loyal following across the UK. Now, with five successful franchisees already on board, the company is poised to extend its reach to Scotland.
“We’re incredibly excited to bring the Fancy Fries experience to Scotland,” said James Hipkiss, owner and director of Fancy Fries. “This is a unique opportunity for passionate entrepreneurs to tap into a proven business model and make their mark in the food industry, with the potential for a turnover of £100,000 in the first year, all from the comfort of a food truck.”
The concept of loaded fries – a dish that combines crispy fries with a variety of toppings – was inspired by a street food festival in Brooklyn, New York. Hipkiss took the idea and added his own twist, creating a menu that has captivated food lovers and critics alike. Over the years, Fancy Fries has become a staple at food festivals, weddings, corporate events, and birthday parties, offering a fun and unique catering experience.
The brand’s rapid rise to fame has also attracted attention from celebrities, including Michael Portillo, and led to international franchising enquiries from countries such as the US, Australia, and the Middle East.
Now, Fancy Fries is offering entrepreneurs in Scotland the chance to join its success story. Franchisees will benefit from a comprehensive training programme, including an essential operations manual, ongoing support, and the backing of a strong brand identity. The company also provides marketing strategies, innovative menu items, and assistance with business development, including help with booking events.
James Hipkiss believes that the franchise opportunity is ideal for individuals passionate about food and community engagement. “The food truck industry is thriving, especially with lower operational costs compared to traditional restaurants,” he said. “It’s a great option for anyone wanting to start their own business in the food industry, including restaurateurs who are looking to branch out into mobile catering.”
Fancy Fries is actively seeking driven and enthusiastic entrepreneurs who share the brand’s vision of becoming a household name in event catering across the globe. With a growing demand for food trucks at weddings, corporate functions, and other events, this is a unique opportunity for those wanting to make their mark in the booming mobile food sector.
