Become a Vapestore Franchise
At Vapestore, we are dedicated to offering you a great service
Introducing Vapestore Franchising
In 2014, we opened our first retail e-cigarette store in Guildford, Surrey, which achieved a turnover of £727,000 and a net profit in excess of £120,000 in its first year.
In 2017 we announced our Franchise Programme to allow others to share in our success and own their own branded Vapestore.
We have chosen the brand name of “Vapestore” to reflect the wide range of high quality vaping products and e-liquids that we stock, from some of the world’s top vape brands.
Our Franchise programme is designed for experienced Business people who want to enter into this exciting and growing sector, without the need for being a Vaper or a Vaping expert, as we take all the worry out of knowing what products to stock and how to source them. We are a one stop supplier for everything they will ever need.
