Shakeaway, the world’s largest milkshake bar company since 1999 has been ranked number 32 out of the top 50 food franchises in the UK as reported by Food Franchise Magazine. We have gained 8 places from #40 to #32 which of course is great news for us. Having originated a new and exciting milkshake product more than 17 years ago, our brand has developed a loyal cult following of fans throughout the UK and now all over the world. The UK will by the end of next year have 55 stores with a further 20 international stores

Shakeaway is just behind Harry Ramsdens at #30 as well as being ahead of Creams Café who are currently ranked at #34. Food Franchise magazine includes a write up on Shakeaway within the feature:

“The demand for milkshakes continues to rise in the UK, with a whole host of restaurant chains offering them on their menu. Therefore it should come as no surprise to see Shakeaway in the list of Top 50 Food Franchises. Since launching in Bournemouth, in 1999, the business has seen the opening of 40 units and has found its way to 32th in our list. With more than 180 flavours and millions of possible combinations to choose, we should expect Shakeaway’s fanbase to continue to grow, along with it the number of outlets feeding the demand.”

Congratulations to David Fuentes who wins the Ultimate Assault Course challenge courtesy of Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials. We love competitions at Shakeaway so we also ran a Scorch Trials DVD giveaway and picked a winner from each of our 40 stores in the UK so well done to everyone that won a prize.

Congratulations to Oasis John William Academy who win the Shakeaway Dance Troupe 2015 competition in association with Bend It Like Beckham and Fruit Bowl. The lucky winners receive the ultimate prize of a workshop with the cast of London’s West End show Bend It Like Beckham plus tickets to see the show live on stage. We would like to thank the schools and colleges from all over the country that submitted their Dance Troupe videos, we had so many high quality entries this year it was incredibly hard to pick an overall winner.

McDonald’s make a great cheeseburger but when it comes to milkshakes there is no comparison between what they have to offer and a Shakeaway milkshake. Take for example a simple banana milkshake, at Shakeaway this is made with real ripe bananas, fresh milk and hand scooped ice cream. By comparison a McDonald’s milkshake doesn’t contain any real bananas at all.

This summer we filmed a taste test to demonstrate to members of the public how much better a real banana milkshake tastes. Watch the results in our video now: https://vimeo.com/135546355
