Shooz! …Master Franchise

International expansion is not only a dream, but also a necessity in today's global economy. In this view we are granting rights for the development of a specific territory, which in most cases would be a whole country. The master franchise differentiates itself from a normal single unit franchise in that our partner will actively take our place as a franchisor inside his market and will act as being the mother company itself, developing not only its own shops, but also a network of sub franchised Shooz! shops under its guidance and support.

The Shooz! master franchisee can/has the option to develop:

A solid company-owned and operated network of Shooz! concept shops.

A wholesale network of exclusive distribution sales points inside the territory.

Soft shops, corners or shop in shops inside major department stores.

A strong franchise network of sub-franchised shops owned and operated by motivated

franchisees.

Shooz! …Master Franchise – The Opportunity

Shooz! grants the master rights for a given territory to a partner, Franchisee.

This master franchisee has the right to exploit and develop his own market.

Shooz! and the master franchisee sign a master franchise agreement which regulates the terms and conditions of the cooperation.

Part of this agreement is also a mutual agreed development plan.

This development plan quotes the estimated progress of development regarding new sales points inside the master franchisee’s territory in a specific timeframe.

Shooz! …Master Franchising in Action!

In general, the following master franchise key terms apply:

Term of master franchise agreement is normally between 9-12 years (with an option of renewal). The term may vary from country to country depending mainly on the real estate lease terms and on other factors of the local market.

Master franchise rights: In order to activate the right of master franchising, thus granting licenses to sub franchisees, it is mandatory to operate a successful pilot shop for a reasonable period of time inside the territory, before starting to develop a network of franchises.

Territory: Normally a whole country, but this varies depending on the size as well as on other factors that may characterize a territory or a geographical region.

Shooz! …Master Franchise

Shooz! …Direct Franchise

A business relationship directly with the mother company.

Our new partner has the right to operate one Shooz! store inside the territory.

The majority of franchisees start out by owning one Shooz! store

Shooz! …Direct or Single Unit Franchise

In general, the following direct franchise key terms apply:

Term of franchise agreement is normally between 9-12 years (with an option of renewal). The term may vary from country to country depending mainly on the real estate lease terms and conditions as well as on other factors of the local market.

Territory: Normally a specific part of a city, but this varies depending on the size as well as on other factors that may characterize the city. In certain cases, when it comes to evaluating the territory of a smaller city, exclusive territory rights for the whole city may be granted.

Exclusivity: exclusivity is guaranteed from the beginning.

The pilot shop is normally positioned inside a shopping mall in the capital city or on a central shopping or pedestrian road, which means that our partner has to secure a strategic location-placement in shopping malls, on high-end streets and in close proximity to other international fashion brands.

The size of a typical Shooz! store should be approx. 80- 100 sq.m. with a storage area of about 15% of the total shop area.

Shooz! …Direct or Single Unit Franchise-The shop

Experience in a similar business field is preferable but not mandatory.

Our new partner has to convince us with a structured and well thought-out plan to

penetrate the new market, setting up his store.

We do not need to stress that we do value personal qualities, managerial

capabilities in addition to a reasonable liquidity, which is needed to finance the

Shooz! Franchise project.
