ENDORSEMENTS

'Stenders is the most exciting retail concept in the sector since The Body Shop. The stores bring some excitement to the high street because of the strong Latvian branding. Provided the new franchise owners who come onboard are able to recreate and maintain the Latvian image they should be able to separate the Stenders outlets from the competition.'
Professor Roy Seaman, Managing Director of Franchise Development Services

'The products are made to specifically developed recipes and have a very strong emphasis and ethic of quality, naturalness and eco-awareness. The quality of the products, innovative shop design and customer service approach combine to provide the franchise owner with a proven formula for success.'
Gordon Patterson and Gary Rigby, FDS Southern Franchise Consultants
