John Blaney
Multi-unit Franchisee
John entered the world of franchising in 2006 with Boots Opticians. He went on to build a portfolio of 6 stores across the Northwest of England which served a diverse customer base, from rural communities to busy city centre stores until 2021.
He also represented the franchise network during negotiations with Boots, helping to shape the business strategy, enhance customer proposition, and strengthen the supply chain.
A lifelong passion for fitness and health then led him to franchising with Anytime Fitness. Currently operating 2 locations, John and his team dedicate each day to improving their members’ health and well-being.
