About the brand «Oodles»

Fresh Ingredients, Theatrical Cooking, Revolutionised Boxed Food!

Oodles is an Eastern-inspired quick-service restaurant, revolutionising boxed food with theatrical live cooking using fresh ingredients. Oodles was founded in 2010, starting with the first store in Leicester followed by the second store in Leicester City Centre, 2014. Over the next four years, we focused on perfecting our menu, recipes, operating procedures, and support systems before venturing into franchising in late 2018.

Moreover, up to two Head Office personnel will provide unwavering support on the opening day. This preparatory training, similar to the Head Office training, incurs with no additional cost, reflecting our commitment to the success of your flourishing business.

Our decision to invest in Oodles is driven by their innovative concept and comprehensive support, which guarantees us a clear path to success.-

I am delighted to share my journey as a multi-store franchisee with Oodles, and it has been an absolute game-changer. Initially committing to a single franchise store, I quickly recognised the immense potential of the brand, the impressive financial returns, and the exceptional support systems in place. It didn't take long for me to realise that expanding with Oodles was the right decision. The Whitechapel franchise store was my latest store, meeting customers' demands for a concept like Oodles in the area. Encouraged by the success so far, I have already initiated the build-out for my next store in Elephant & Castle. With full trust in the brand and the dedicated team behind it, I wholeheartedly recommend Oodles to anyone seeking an exciting and profitable franchise opportunity for growth.
