COBS Bread 

Opening several new locations every month, COBS Bread is North America’s fastest growing bakery concept. With over 125 stores currently, COBS is on track to establish 200 bakeries by 2022.

Project Summary 

In early 2017, COBS Bread and AXIS Integrated embarked on an aggressive Canadian expansion plan to grow the network by 100 bakeries within five years. Intelligent Lead Nurturing plays an integral role in COBS’ growth. Territories with an appropriate volume of qualified leads are targeted for development. Attractive lease spaces are acquired with minimal risk and franchisees are selected, enabling quick and efficient expansion. Utilizing Intelligent Lead Nurturing, including AXIS’ team of friendly Franchise Recruitment Specialists to manage all leads, COBS is able to focus on strategic initiatives and signing agreements with new franchisees.
