Why own a Lucardo Franchise?

We have had a number of questions about Lucardo Franchises. To find out more, we asked Simon Milnes franchise Director at Lucardo Rawtenstall a bit more about it. 

Why did I choose Lucardo as my franchise?


For me it was easy - Lucardo Manchester has always been our number one escape room company.  Around three years ago I started playing escape rooms with my wife and best friend - we learnt very early on that there are some good rooms and then there are Lucardo Manchester rooms - a cut above other escape rooms companies near me.  We have completed around 100 rooms and even blog about our escaping experiences.  Lucardo Manchester are clear leaders in the escape room industry and it made perfect sense that I would like to invest in the number one to do in Manchester as shown on trip advisor.  The journey has been life changing and so rewarding.  I choose to set up our Lucardo franchise in Rawtenstall - Rossendale.  Since living in the Rossendale valley for the past 7 years I realised that people have to travel away from the Rossendale valley in order to participate in leisure activities - yes there is Ski Rossendale, The East Lancs Railway and Grip and Go - however there is a limited number of activities - I wanted to create an activity which would help drive up the leisure and tourism within the Rossendale valley.  Rawtenstall has fantastic motorway links, bus services and is accessible to all across the Rossendale valley.  I am proud of the Lucardo badge I wear each and everyday when I come to work at Lucardo Rawtenstall and can not wait to see what the future holds for both Rawtenstall and Manchester Lucardo escape rooms.

So far, so good we have two games open and can’t wait to get the third open before the end of 2018.
