    Not sure about the franchising opportunity but would be interested to hear if anyone has. We have one near us and a lot of people seem to rave about how good they are...

    Many Waves franchises have Facebook pages. I'm not sure how many franchise owners use this site, so they might not contact you here.

    Indeed there was. I don't think it has any bearing on the other 179 such franchises being operated on or near Tesco premises.
