In 1992 the first Healthy Habits store
was established in the Knox City
Shopping Centre in Melbourne by
Katherine Sampson.
Over the next few
years Katherine started to see that
although people wanted fast food, they
were also looking for healthier fast food
options. Her store was becoming busier
and after putting systems and procedures
in place to make the outlet more efficient,
Katherine opened a second store at
Southgate in 1999, a third store at The
Glen in 2000 and in 2001 a fourth caféstyle
store at Knox City.
Since 2005, Healthy Habits has grown
from 4 stores in Victoria to 34 stores
across Victoria, Queensland, New South
Wales and the ACT. Healthy Habits is
now one of Australia’s most awarded
franchise systems and the number one
sandwich bar brand in the market.
Having established a solid foundation and
a strong brand, Healthy Habits was
looking for the right partner to take the
business to the next level. An exciting
new phase began in March 2009 with
the Dymocks Group of Companies
purchasing an 80 per cent share in
Healthy Habits.
With more than 130 years in the retail
business, and 25 of those as a franchisor,
Dymocks has the knowledge and
experience to capitalise on the
opportunities ahead for Healthy Habits;
each year more than 450 million
sandwiches are sold in Australia with no
major brand domination.
Healthy Habits’ fresh, healthy, bold and
colourful stores specialise in custom made
sandwiches – made just the way you like
them. Also on offer are wraps, baguettes,
focaccias, healthy salads, yoghurts,
smoothies, fruit juices and fruit salad.
There are 3 successful store models
offering great flexibility and opportunities:
food court, express kiosk/juice bar
and café-lounge-bar.
The food court model is suitable for
CBDs, major shopping centres and
airports. Express kiosks have been
designed for busy traffic hubs and airports
that stock ready to go salads, ready-made
sandwich options, freshly squeezed juices
and smoothies. The new café-lounge-bar
model has an extensive menu offering
freshly cooked breakfast, lunch and
counter meal options while maintaining
the core sandwich bar offering of the
Healthy Habits menu.
Franchise partners come from a variety
of backgrounds but all have a great
attitude, a willingness to learn,
a drive to succeed and a passion for
Healthy Habits…healthy living is a must!
