Danish opticians CrossEyes targets expansion in UK

Just months after opening its first UK practice in Clerkenwell, London, Danish optician group CrossEyes has revealed plans for a nationwide franchise network.

CrossEyes, which has six franchise practices in Denmark, has targeted the UK market and has aimed to open five franchise practices in London initially, before expanding around the UK.

The company’s co-founder and owner Søren Møller said he hoped that there would be 15 practices in the UK by the end of 2015. Dialogue has already taken place with a number of potential franchisees and the company said it would work on the expansion with the retail property agents that managed the expansion of the Danish jewellery brand, Pandora.
