In this 100th episode of the Franchise Everything Podcast with Nitin Khadalia, a global award-recognised service advisor in one industry to multi-location (5) franchise owner in another.
Nitin was also our 1st episode way back, so we thought it fitting to re-visit and catch up on how he's moved his business so far forward for our 100th!
Nitin's journey with the freight and logistics brand PACK & SEND has been filled with twists and turns, shaping his unique perspective on franchising and business growth.
He shares insights into the challenges and rewards of owning multiple franchise locations, emphasising the importance of adaptability, strong operational systems, and building solid relationships within the franchise network. He discusses how his background in service excellence helped him navigate the logistics industry, and what prospective franchisors and franchisees should consider before committing to a franchise.
His practical advice and real-world experience make this episode especially valuable for those looking to enter or grow their existing footprint as a franchise owner in the sector.
