professional and efficient service because our Franchise
Partners always provide a superior service than is
available elsewhere, as you may do in Bournemouth.
New branches are often started as a sole trader business
with the Franchise Partner fitting tyres himself. As the
level of sales grows a trained tyre fitter is employed.
Later a second and third fitter are employed.
Alternatively the business can be operated purely as a
Management Franchise, with all the operational activity
delegated to employees. Either way, branches can be
built up to be very lucrative, with strong sales and
cashflow, as would this franchise opportunity in Bournemouth.

More about Bournemouth
Until the early 19th century the area where
Bournemouth now stands was just heathland where cattle
grazed. Then in 1810 a man named Tregonwell visited the
beach with his wife. She loved the area and persuaded
him to build a house there. He purchased 8 1/2 acres and
built a house with cottages for his butler and gardener.
Tregonwell can be regarded as the first inhabitant of
Bournemouth although his house stood alone.
He later bought more land in the area. He also purchased
the Tapps Arms and renamed it the Tregonwell Arms. In
1820 the house was leased to the Marchioness of Exeter.
It became known as Exeter House and gave its name to
Exeter Street. Landowners planted pines on the heath,
but there was no settlement at Bournemouth until 1837.
At the end of the 18th century spending time at the
seaside became very popular among the rich and middle
classes. Many new resorts were built including,
Brighton, Eastbourne and Bognor Regis.
By 1840 a little village had been built. In that year
the stagecoach which travelled from Southampton to
Weymouth began to call at Bournemouth, a sure sign that
the village had arrived. The same year a guide book for
the resort was published.
In 1851 Bournemouth was still a little village with a
population of only 695. But it was growing rapidly. By
1861 it had a population of 1,707.
Bournemouth police force was founded in 1856. Local
government began in 1856 when an Act of Parliament set
up a body of men responsible for paving, cleaning and
lighting the streets. They also had powers to provide
sewers and drains.
In 1864 the town gained gas street lighting. In 1866
Bournemouth gained a piped water supply. A volunteer
fire brigade was formed in 1870. The Improvement
Commissioners were replaced by a mayor and aldermen in
1890.
The railway reached Bournemouth in 1870, which made it
far easier to reach, and increased the number of
visitors. The town grew at a phenomenal rate. By 1881
the population of Bournemouth stood at 16,859. In 1891
it reached 37,000. St Peter's Church was soon too small
for the growing town and so a new church was built in
1880.
In 1885 the Mont Dore Hotel was built. It was supposed
to be a health resort where guests were given spring
water from the Auvergne. In 1921 it was turned into the
town hall. The Winter Gardens were laid out in 1874.
Also in the 1870s the Pleasure Gardens were drained and
laid out. The Theatre Royal was built in 1882.
Bournemouth Arcade was built between 1866 and 1872.
In the 1870s and 1880s villages near Bournemouth grew
rapidly. In Boscombe the Boscombe Chine Hotel was built
in 1874. St. Clements Church was built in 1873. In 1876
Boscombe was made part of the town of Bournemouth. So
was Springbourne.
Bournemouth symphony Orchestra was founded in 1893.
Wimborne Road Cemetery was laid out in 1877. Bournemouth
East Cemetery followed in 1897. The first library in
Bournemouth was opened in 1895. The Royal Victoria
Hospital was opened in 1889.
By 1901 the population of Bournemouth had reached
59,000. In 1931 the boundaries of the town were extended
again to include Kinson, Wallisdown and Holdenhurst.
Castlepoint Shopping Centre opened in 2003. Today the
population of Bournemouth is 164,000.
