Wanneroo franchisee Kellie Martin said this was a positive sign and her team was delighted with the local support.

“We are continuing to trade as per normal and would like to let the community know we are still going strong,” she said.

“We are grateful to the community for getting behind us and we will charge on.”

“The administrators are pleased to advise they have received enquiries from a number of interested parties since their appointment and are hopeful of a swift sale,” it said.

“The Eagle Boys management team is looking forward to the prospect of growing the brand under new ownership and would like to thank Eagle Boys customers, franchisees and team members for their ongoing support during this time.”
