Partners always provide a superior service than is
available elsewhere, as you may do in Carlisle.
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.

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 Carlisle.

More about CarlisleCarlisle is a city in the
far north-west of England, located 16km from the border
with Scotland. It is part of the City of Carlisle local
government district, and acts as the administrative
centre for both the district and Cumbria. It is the
traditional county town of Cumberland. The population of
the urban area of Carlisle was 71,773 according to the
2001 census, with about 100,000 living in the wider
districCarlisle is an ancient city, and the seat of the
diocese to which it gives name. It is situated on a
slight rise, in the Cumberland Ward, at the confluence
of the rivers Eden, Caldew, and Petteril.
An important centre for trade, it is located 90 km west
of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 115 km north of Lancaster, 145
km south of Glasgow, 150 km southeast of Edinburgh, 190
km northwest of York, and 490 km northnorthwest of
London. Nearby towns and villages include Longtown
(North), Penrith (South) Brampton (East), Wigton (West),
Haggbeck, Harker, Carwinley, Blackford, Houghton,
Aglionby and Rockcliffe.
The city is linked to the rest of England via the M6
motorway towards the South, and the M74/A74 towards
Glasgow and the North. The famous Scottish Indie Rock
Outfit "102 Miles" take their name from the distance
from Glasgow Central Station to Carlisle. As well as
these routes, many important trunk roads either begin or
terminate in Carlisle, including the A6 to Penrith
(historically the main road south), the A595 to western
Cumbria, the A69 to Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the A7 to
Edinburgh. Carlisle thus bears the distinction of being
the only city in Great Britain other than London and
Edinburgh with more than one single numbered 'A' road -
A6 and A7 (although at one time the A5 and A6 met in St
Albans). In addition, Carlisle is a principal station on
the West Coast main railway line. Other railway lines go
to Newcastle, Leeds and Glasgow via Dumfries and west
Cumbria.
Traffic in the Carlisle area, especially at rush hour,
has become a significant problem. A proposed bypass road
will take traffic heading to and from West Cumbria off
the M6, as opposed to its current path through the
centre of Carlisle.
Local bus service is run by Stagecoach Group and Arriva.
Floods in 2005 destroyed the existing bus fleet and
therefore it has been replaced with a new fleet of
buses.
Carlisle became an industrial city in the nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries with many textile mills,
engineering works and food manufacturers opening up
mostly in the Denton Holme, Caldewgate and Wapping areas
which lie in the Caldew valley area of the city. In the
early nineteenth century a canal was dug connecting
Caldewgate with the sea at Port Carlisle. The canal was
later filled in and became a railway line.
Famous firms that were founded or had factories in
Carlisle included Carr's of Carlisle (now part of United
Biscuits), Kangol, Metal Box (now part of Crown Cork and
Seal). The Carrs and Metal Box factories are still
going. The construction firm of John Laing and the
hauliers Eddie Stobart Ltd. were also founded in the
city.
Until 2004, Carlisle's biggest employer was Cavaghan &
Gray part of Northern Foods which operated from two
sites in the Harraby area of Carlisle producing chilled
foods for major supermarket chains. As of January 2005,
the London Road site was closed with the loss of almost
700 jobs as production was transferred to the nearby
Eastern Way site or other factories around the UK.
Carlisle also became a major railway centre with at one
time 7 different companies using Carlisle Citadel
Station the city also used to have the largest railway
marshalling yard in Europe at Kingmoor, now closed.
There are various light industrial estates and business
parks located on the fringes of the city and on former
industrial sites close to the city centre.
On March 28, 2005, Carlisle was granted Fairtrade City
status.
