Descended from generations of confectionery shopkeepers dating back to 1891, you could say that our Chairman Martin Peet was born to this business. Back in 2004, frustrated by the growing standardisation of the British high street, the rise of bland chain stores and predictable products, Martin saw an opportunity for a truly distinctive, evocative and enchanting retail experience. Inspired by the ideas of re-imagining traditional values of service, quality and care for our communities, of showcasing a mind-blowing range of products and of bringing joy to the lives of sweet lovers of all ages, the first Mr Simms store was born. Fast forward 15 years, and Mr Simms now has over 75 stores in the UK alone and has started to expand internationally.We're proud that Martin's original vision of sweet traditions being shared across generations still holds strong today and will continue to hold strong as the business grows from strength to strength, making new memories every day.Becoming a Mr Simms franchisee offers you the best of several worlds – the opportunity to be your own boss, running your own business your own way, but with the strength of an established, successful brand to build upon and the support of a highly experienced management team with which to build it.But, greater than all of this, is the opportunity to be part of something truly special because Mr Simms goes far beyond being a traditional sweet shop… it's a celebration of the best of independent retailing and a much loved part of people's lives. Being part of the Mr Simms family is simply the sweetest franchise experience and you can't put a price on that!
