Do You Have Questions About Our Franchise Network?

We have the answers.

Joining a franchise means benefiting immediately from the reputation of an established brand. Instead of starting from scratch, you adopt a proven, profitable business model. You’ll also receive ongoing support to help you face challenges, attract customers, and manage your daily operations. Plus, the network’s collective purchasing power gives you access to favorable conditions.

We’re primarily looking for people who are passionate about retail and motivated to offer exceptional customer service. Experience in the industry is not required—our comprehensive training will give you all the tools you need to succeed. What matters most is your entrepreneurial spirit and your ability to manage a point of sale day to day.

The required investment varies depending on the project, but on average, you’ll need to provide about 25% of the total cost. We have existing financing agreements with financial institutions to help you cover inventory purchases and store setup.

From the very beginning, we help you find a location, set up your financial plan, and coordinate renovations. We also assist in hiring your team. At opening, we’re on-site to support you, and our guidance continues throughout the franchise agreement with supervision, ongoing training, marketing and legal advice, and access to our biannual purchasing conventions.

Our concept has been tested, validated, and optimized in various markets. It is proven to be profitable, and its flexibility allows it to adapt to different geographic contexts. It also stands out for its originality and its ability to differentiate from competitors.

Before opening a location, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the project’s potential profitability. Location and rent are two key factors. A detailed financial plan is always provided to prospective franchisees to offer a clear operational overview. We also encourage discussions with current franchisees for a better understanding of possible outcomes.

No, prior experience is not required. Thanks to our training program, you’ll learn the fundamentals—from operational management to customer service. What we value most is your commitment, leadership, and willingness to learn.

Yes, within the framework of the established concept. You are the captain of your store, while respecting the brand’s standards. This gives you the freedom to make local decisions while benefiting from a structured support system.

We carefully study each region to identify the best commercial areas, taking into account customer potential, competition, visibility, and rent costs. We’ll work with you to choose a strategic location that maximizes your chances of success.

If you enjoy interacting with people, have an entrepreneurial mindset, and are looking for support in your business journey while maintaining autonomy, franchising could be the right path for you. A conversation with our team will help you evaluate how well your profile aligns with our vision.
