Pros

I took on a store last year. I’m an international student and I thought it looked like something interesting to try. Calendar Club were really helpful and nice throughout my involvement. I had a good time running my store. I discovered that I liked serving customers and learnt a lot about how to run a business. The program was easy to follow.

Cons

I would say it was hard work at times especially in dealing with stock deliveries and the shopping centre traded later as it got closer to Christmas. I would do it again as the money worked out well and it was fun to do overall.

Pros

Calendar Club has been around for 30+ years. It does things right otherwise it would not still be in business. I have worked in stores and then became a licensee over a 3 year period and every year they work so hard to make improvements to not only help their licensees make more money but also save time. They are very clear in their expectations about what to do and how to do it. My experience is that if you follow the program you will do well. If you take shortcuts you won't. You are running your own business so you can't have a 9-5 mindset

Cons

Nothing really. I'm used to a small business environment and Calendar Club is very clear about everything and supports you well. I have seen the occasional criticism but its really from people that weren't suited to running their own business, took shortcuts, didn't do the work and then were somehow surprised that they didn't do as well as they had hoped.My point is that it's not for everyone but if you're ok to work hard for a couple of months you''ll do well. Is that a pro or con?
