this growth had previously led to spudbar opening two company - owned stores in western australia in a bid to expand its brand, with outlets in the perth suburbs of cannington and joondalup .
spudbar was founded in 2000 around the simple promise to create delicious food that’s healthy, great value, quick and casual. we discovered the spud was the perfect platform to build a meal around – delicious, filling and much healthier than the typical meal staples of pasta, bread and rice .

in its hometown of melbourne, the baked potato chain has grown to 11 stores since its initial launch in 2000 .
however, both stores eventually closed, with the first going out of business 18 months ago, and the second closing in january of this year .
despite the closures, the company is planning to embark on a second round of national expansion .
smartcompany understands the company is working with a franchisee in western australia ahead of a future store opening .
in addition to the parth - based store, the company is also advertising franchise opportunities in canberra, hobart, adelaide, perth, darwin, the gold coast, brisbane and sydney .
according to the advertisements, an investment of between $ 230, 000 and $ 290, 000 will be required to open each store .
the chain is one of a number of rapidly expanding melbourne - based fast food retailers in australia, including noodle box and roll’d .
however, there are clear risks to the national expansion of a fast food franchise .
back in 2010, fast food chain souvlaki hut collapsed into administration just 10 months after being named one of australia’s fastest growing franchises .

clayton thompson had high hopes for the jaffle jaffle group when he started the gourmet toasted - sandwich chain .
thompson already had one successful business under his belt as the original founder of the spud bar chain which he later sold .
he started jaffle jaffle in late 2013 selling a range of toasted sandwiches, chips and milkshakes from three outlets in geelong and melbourne to a wave of positive coverage on social media and in the food press .
but by january this year thompson had to call in the administrators. gideon rathner from lowe lippmann placed the business in liquidation on march 2 and jaffle jaffle was wound up .
i am deeply sorry for the stress and pressure that the administration process has caused all stakeholders ,
thompson says .
he says the jaffle jaffle store at westfield geelong was hit by high rents and lower than forecasted sales .
the opening of two new
high - profile food retailers
in the food court was also an issue .
there simply were not enough customers to go around and the centre has seen multiple store closures as a result ,
thompson says .
he says jaffle jaffle' s store in melbourne' s central business district at 567 collins street was impacted by delays in other tenants opening .
the office tower above the store was to be 75 per cent occupied by tenants at store opening. the actual number was closer to 20 per cent, which impacted on the amount of potential customers visiting the food precinct .
thompson also complained of
budget blowouts
at all three sites and an ill - fated decision to introduce a new menu in a bid to increase average spend per head and
future proof
jaffle jaffle .
the exercise cost in excess of $ 100k with no immediate increase in sales or average spend per head ,
thompson says .
he says his statement is
not to make excuses but to help [ creditors ] find closure on what i' m sure has been a very difficult time
.
the aftermath of the collapse left more than $ 1. 3 million owing to creditors .
unsecured creditors included the australian taxation office, construction company mccoll smith projects, meris food equipment, office manager investa are owed over $ 100, 000 while secured creditor, private company generation wise pty ltd, is owed $ 1. 2 million .
ken burgin, the owner of profitable hospitality, a consultancy that advises restaurants and catering groups, says it' s unusual to get a
warts and all behind the scenes account
like that provided by thompson .
jaffles are an old - fashioned concept. i suppose it' s meant to be retro but the problem is jaffles are not seen as an expensive food item ,
he says .
it' s a very narrow concept .
burgin says it can be
brutal
for a business when other tenants in a building are yet to open .
early tenants get promised the world but there is often a couple of years which are lean ,
he says .
i' m sure there were special deals and assistance to start with but it is hard to make up for no foot traffic. shopping centres are very difficult as well, as there are often five - year leases, full refits required and rent of 15 per cent to 20 per cent of turnover which is a lot higher than independents .
mysmallbusiness contacted rathner and westfield for comment but did not receive a response before publication .
