We have a franchise opportunity in Soho. If you have

are always low.
The primary reason that our service is second to none is
that our network is made up of Franchise Partners rather
than tyre depot managers. Could you be our next
successful Partner with this franchise opportunity in
Soho?
Fast-expanding etyres now has over 100 vans fitted with

by our Franchise Partners who employ fully trained tyre
fitters. Customers can have full confidence in our
professional and efficient service because our Franchise
Partners always provide a superior service than is
available elsewhere, as you may do in Soho.
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 Soho.
And etyres is on a fast track towards nationwide
coverage. We can already cover to more than 70% of the
UK car owning population. However we still have
franchise Territories available in key areas, including
Soho. Full training is provided in all aspects of the
business. Head Office backup includes National Sales,

More about Soho
Soho is an area of London's West End in the City of
Westminster. It is roughly the area bounded by Oxford
Street to the north, Regent Street to the west,
Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square to the south, and
Charing Cross Road in the east. The area to the west is
known as Mayfair.
The area which is now Soho was grazing farmland until
1536 when it was taken by Henry VIII as a royal park for
the Palace of Whitehall. The name Soho first appears in
the 17th century. This referred initially to a
particular house, possibly an inn used by those hunting
in the park. The word 'soho' was a hunting call. [[1]]
In the 1660s the Crown granted Soho Fields to Henry
Jermyn, Earl of St. Albans. He leased 19 of its 22 acres
to Joseph Girle, who as soon as he had gained permission
to build there, promptly passed his lease and licence to
bricklayer Richard Frith in 1677, who began its
development. In 1698 William III granted the Crown
freehold of most of this area to William, Earl of
Portland. Meanwhile the southern part of what became the
parish of St Anne Soho was sold by the Crown in parcels
in the 16th and 17th century, with part going to Robert
Sidney, Earl of Leicester.
Despite the best intentions of landowners such as the
Earls of Leicester and Portland to develop the land on
the grand scale of neighbouring Bloomsbury, Marylebone
and Mayfair, immigrants, such as French Huguenots,
settled in the area, and it never became a fashionable
area for the rich. Indeed, it has been the making of
Soho’s charm and character that it has been neglected
and undeveloped and allowed to run a little wild and
rough and cosmopolitan. By the mid 1700s all the
aristocrats who had been living in Soho Square or
Gerrard Street had moved out and the artists had started
to move in.
By the mid 1800s all respectable families had moved away
and prostitutes, music halls and small theatres had
moved in. By the early part of the 1900s there was a
healthy mix of foreign nationals opening cheap eating
houses and it became a fashionable place to eat for
intellectuals, writers and artists.
From the 1930s to the early 1960s, if Soho folklore is
believed, the pubs of Soho were packed every night with
drunken writers, poets and artists, many of whom never
sobered up enough to become successful; and it was also
during this period that the great Soho pub landlords
established themselves.
Soho is famed for its many clubs, pubs, bars, and
restaurants, as well as late night coffee shops that
give the street an "open all night" feel at the
weekends. Indeed, most Soho weekends are now so busy as
to warrant closing-off of some of the streets to
vehicles. This measure was implemented for a brief
period in the mid-1990s, but Westminster Council later
removed most of the pedestrianisation, supposedly after
complaints from some local businesses about loss of
trade!
Soho is near the heart of London's theatre area, and is
a centre of the independent film and video industry as
well as the television and film post-production
industry. The British Board of Film Classification,
formerly known as the British Board of Film Censors, can
be found in Soho Square.
