Heavenly Desserts takes the trophy as ‘Best Dessert Franchise’ in Warwickshire

Franchisee Karina Sandher-Jhitta opened the Leamington Spa branch just last year, which took home the award on Sunday 5 May. The black tie award presentation happened at The Eastside Rooms in Birmingham.

Karina said: “Having only been open a year we’re overjoyed that we’ve gained significant praise from our customers which is testament to the dining experience we’ve created alongside the founders of Heavenly Desserts and our twenty-plus team.

“I’ve always had an entrepreneurial vision and wanted to start something of my own after many years in the food and drink sector as a project manager at Sainsburys. Following on from the pandemic and lockdown, I was inspired to get into the hospitality sector and Heavenly Desserts brought about a genuine invested interest from its co-founders Yousif and Imran which proved their passion and commitment to our success, which is why I selected their franchise to build-on.”

Yousif Aslam, co-managing director of Heavenly Desserts added: “We were initially founded in the Midlands and as we embark on our mission to become the largest dessert destination in the UK and beyond it’s ever important to celebrate the enormous achievements of our franchisees such as Karina, who we couldn’t be on this journey without.”

Heavenly Desserts has photogenic and luxurious interiors which aid the full tasting experience. The brand has quality menus comprised of croffles, dessert tapas, crepes, Italian gelato and much more.
