Stressful September

SEPTEMBER has been the busiest month so far this year for both franchisees and Head Office.

The first Saturday in September saw us exhibiting at the M25 Surrey Franchise Show run by Jobs Done Marketing and sponsored by the Female Franchise web site. This was the first franchise show we had exhibited at and we didn't really know what to expect. Before the show we had a manic rush to order leaflets, banners and other marketing materials to make our stand attractive. The Show had a steady stream of visitors and generated a lot of interest in Musical Minis. We are still following up on the leads from the exhibition. We actually enjoyed doing the Show even though it was very tiring. As well as meeting prospective franchisees it was great to talk to other exhibitors and hear about their businesses.

Shaka Zulu

LAST Saturday night Rob and I went with friends to try the new Shaka Zulu restaurant in Camden.

The restaurant opened at the beginning of August 2010 and is located in Stables Market in Camden. It is on two subterranean floors and we needed to go by escalator down to the restaurant and bars. The decor was interesting with walls displaying handmade mosaics, tribal masks and hand carved traditional scenes from the Zulu nation. There was a ‘Warrior Wall’ where King Shaka himself stands amongst a group of warriors sculpted into 60ft high statues. Shaka Zulu is destined to become an icon within London’s restaurant and late night scene - I could see how it is advertised as 'a stunning and unique venue'. 

The restaurant layout was interesting with a number of circular tables, long tables and bar areas inter mixed. We were seated on a circular table with large comfy chairs. There were some chairs which looked very uncomfortable and metallic but luckily we didn't have those. I was reminded a bit of Rainforest Cafe but I'm not sure why - I think it was the huge statues! As well as the interesting interior, the clientele were equally interesting, beautifully groomed and wearing not a lot!
