The Manhattan FISH MARKET Comes Out Tops at the Franchising & Licencing Association Awards 2009

Nov. 3, 2009 - PRLog -- Today, The Manhattan FISH MARKET achieved what no other franchise in Singapore has managed in the four-year history of the Franchising & Licensing Association Awards. Nominated for both the Franchisor Of The Year 2009 and International Franchisor Of The Year 2009, The Manhattan FISH MARKET ousted their stiff competition to sweep both awards. These awards are regarded as the most prestigious franchise awards in the region.

The Manhattan FISH MARKET has its humble beginnings as an idea in the minds of three young entrepreneurs looking to recreate the famous Manhattan FISH MARKET under the Brooklyn Bridge to the present day, where the restaurant is in five different countries with 30 locations behind them. Since it’s first outlet opened in 2002 the name The Manhattan FISH MARKET has been synonymous with the freshest of produce, a warm & relaxing ambience as well as staff who top off the experience with memorable tableside service. With the assistance of Astreem Corporation, The Manhattan FISH MARKET’S franchise consulting partner, the company has enhanced its franchise program and incorporated a lot of value added features that will help potential franchisees duplicate the success of The Manhattan FISH MARKET Restaurant.

“We are extremely pleased to add these two esteemed feathers to our cap” said Mr. Dickson Low, COO of The Manhattan FISH MARKET “We have always felt that franchising is a win-win formula if you believe in yourself, the product and the system. The only way to survive, is to grow with the help of customers and stakeholders and so that’s what we did!” continued Mr. Low.  

The Franchising & Licensing Association Awards is a yearly event where successful franchise concepts, entrepreneurs and companies that have demonstrated business acumen, commitment to quality products and services are recognised. The Franchisor Of The Year award rewards the winner for its success in establishing the best franchising business system in Singapore, while the International Franchisor Of The Year award honours the franchisor that has excelled in it’s own home country. Previous to this year, no franchise from Singapore has won the Franchisor Of The Year or the International Franchisor Of The Year award.

Astreem Corporation congratulates The Manhattan FISH MARKET in achieving this top honor!
