We're recruiting independent franchise owners to open and run the next generation of Zero Miles container hubs — each paired with a local farm partner and backed by our brand, training and support.
Our converted container hubs cost a fraction of a traditional farm building or retail fit-out, so you can launch faster with lower overheads.
We help identify and build the relationship with a local farm partner for your hub, so your sourcing story is authentic from day one.
From pasture poultry rearing fundamentals to running the hub day-to-day, our onboarding and ongoing support are built into every franchise.
We match your territory to a local farm, and identify a site for the hub — on or near the farm, or in a well-placed community spot.
Your hub is fitted with rearing, packing and refrigeration equipment to our brand specification, ready to trade.
You run the hub day-to-day under the Zero Miles brand, selling whole pasture-raised chickens direct from the farm gate and to local butchers and farm shops.
You don't need a farming or butchery background — you need the drive to build something real in your community, and a genuine belief in what the Zero Miles way should mean: a chicken that never leaves the farm to be processed — the on-farm exemption UK law allows for poultry only.
Submit the form below or email us directly to start the conversation.
We talk through the model, your target area, and answer your questions.
Meet the team and visit a working hub in person, so you can see the model for yourself before applying.
Submit your formal application, including our full franchise prospectus and investment details.
Complete hands-on training while we confirm your hub site, local farm and container build-out.
Open your doors as the newest Zero Miles hub, with our team behind you.
Costs vary depending on container specification, site and location. We share full, itemised investment figures in our Franchise Prospectus once we've had an initial discovery call.
No — full training is provided. We're looking for the right person to run the business and build local relationships more than prior farming experience.
Yes. If you already have a site or farm relationship in mind, we'll work with it — otherwise our team will help identify options in your target area.
Timelines depend on site readiness and container build-out, and we'll confirm an estimate for your specific territory during the application stage.
We plan hub locations carefully to give each franchise partner room to serve their community — we'll confirm territory terms as part of your franchise prospectus.
Tell us a little about yourself and where you'd like to open a hub. We'll come back to you to arrange a discovery call.
