Retail Franchising

Retail franchising is a business model where a company (the franchisor) grants individuals or entities (franchisees) the right to operate a retail location using its established brand, products, and systems. The franchisee invests in setting up the store and pays fees or royalties to the franchisor. This arrangement allows the franchisee to leverage a proven business model and recognized branding, while the franchisor expands its reach without directly managing each location. Retail franchising is common in sectors like fast food, clothing, and convenience stores, balancing brand consistency with local entrepreneurship.
