Steps to opening your own wine shop
  1. Fill out the Wine Buff application form and return it to Mike Mc Donnell at the "Wine Buff Holdings Ltd", PO Box 415, Limerick.
  2. On receipt of the application form we will arrange to meet with you to discuss the business in more detail.
  3. We will then ask you to talk to your solicitor, your accountant and your bank manager. Once you have consulted these people you will be in a better position to make an informed decision about moving ahead with a Wine Buff franchise.
  4. An initial refundable deposit of 1000euro is required at this time before proceeding.
  5. Once you have paid your deposit, we can then begin your induction and initial training programme, you will work for two days in one of our shops. This will allow you to assess the business and for us to observe you in the Wine Buff environment.
  6. If we agree to move forward, the balance of the franchise fee is payable 30 days after you have completed your initial induction, once this is paid both parties sign the franchise agreement.
  7. You will then work closely with our team in finding the proper location for a shop.
  8. On site training will be made available to you on the opening of your shop. In addition you will travel to France and meet with growers in the Bordeaux region. From then on you will be given support on a continuous basis and training when required.
