I'm thinking, what does it take to have the following UK franchises in Nigeria:

BOOTS PHARMACY
TM LEWIN
STARBUCKS ( us company)
MOTHERCARE
THE BODY SHOP
NEXT
DOROTHY PERKINGS
MISS SELFIRDGE
DEBENHAMS
TOP SHOP
TOP MAN
RIVER ISLAND
PEACOCKS
BHS
FOOTLOCKER
LA SENZA
PIZZA EXPRESS
OFFICE DEPOT

To name a few. What do you guys think? I mean instead of going through painful process of starting from scratch why not give people a trusted brand?

Thoughts, comments, experiences etc are welcome.
