Formula

Our retail franchising format

Do you wish to open a Rinascimento store?
You can choose between the 'Sale-or-Return’ retail franchising format or the “Fits You” franchising format.

OUR ‘SALE-OR-RETURN’ RETAIL FRANCHISING FORMAT: MAIN FEATURES

Our Sale-or-Return policy

There is no business without risk, but our franchisees face calculated risk because they only pay for what they sell, without the need to worry about unsold stock, which falls on Gruppo Teddy. Furthermore, it is Gruppo Teddy's responsibility to select samples and replenish stock, with the possibility for the franchisee to drastically lower internal structure costs.

Profitability

Each franchisee can plan on a good profitability compared to the investment made, when considering that the burden of unsold stock does not fall on franchisees but on Teddy. The assessment of business profitability is calculated on the capital the franchisee invests to open a point of sale.

Guaranteed and constant profit margins on store takings.
