Join the movement…
We are extremely proud to have created a revolutionary retail concept that creates enthusiasm, confidence & above all, fantastic income.
We welcome you - Welcome and thank you for your interest in The Source Bulk Foods franchise and giving us the chance to share our story with you...
After opening their first store in Chiswick in 2018, Mak and Pat, who own the United Kingdom and Ireland Master Franchise, are excited to continue expanding the The Source brand and open up their unique shopping concept to more customers across the United Kingdom.
Coming from diverse career backgrounds Mak and Pat bring valuable expertise that, combined with their passion for zero-waste living and healthy food, has driven amazing growth for The Source Bulk Foods Franchise across the UK and Ireland. Having identified an opportunity for plastic-free bulk food shopping, and subsequently discovering The Source brand while in Australia, Mak and Pat spent a year establishing the brand in the UK before opening in Ireland with a specialised product range catered to the local Irish community.
Our Journey So Far…
The Source Bulk Foods came to the UK in 2018 with the opening of the first store in London, Chiswick. There are now 6 stores in the UK and 1 in Ireland. We think this is only the beginning. We want to see healthy plastic-free shopping all over the UK and Ireland and are looking for Franchise Partners to help us make that a reality.
