I received an email this week from a reader, which may strike a chord with someone. Here’s what she said:

“My idea is  to start a franchise outlet called ‘Sugarfrees’. This would be a shop selling sugar free food, ice cream, chocolate, cakes, kids birthday cakes, biscuits,  bread and natural fruit and veg drinks, etc. It can be done without apartamine or fructose etc and taste just as good.. There is definitely a huge growing market out there.  With the alarming rise in diabetes figures I think it will soon become a necessity.”

It’s not really our ‘thing’ but it’s hard to argue with much of this. I know the lady concerned would be keen to partner with someone with either cash or retail experience to move this idea forward, and be prepared to take a small stake for her input. I don’t doubt it could be a winner, but the key will be in the implementation.

If this interests you, send me an email (john@streetwisepublications.co.uk) and I’ll pass on your details.
