November 15, 2012 – Sandwich Baron Benoni, which is the preferred pit stop for locals looking for a healthier take-away option, has a new set of hands at its helm as Alex McCourt and his wife, Jenny recently took ownership of the franchise.

“Through my many years of participating in a variety of businesses, I have learnt that the best way to satisfy customers is to always be honest with them, and to strive for a high level of service that is coupled with a constant commitment to be as polite, transparent and as helpful as possible.
“Having implemented this ethos in Sandwich Baron Benoni, the store is setting the benchmark in terms of excellence and efficiency. Complemented with the prospect of quality, freshly prepared and undeniably delicious meal offerings, this is a winning recipe that will satisfy any discerning palate.”
Since taking ownership in the beginning of October, McCourt adds that the community has warmly welcomed the ownership transition, and commends his staff for staying motivated and loyal and essentially ensuring that the franchise continues its success.

I am confident that these strong characteristics will result in the store excelling in every facet, especially in expanding on an already devoted customer base.”
