The international franchise community to meet in Paris this September

After a year going through the sanitary crisis, the franchising model has proven its strong capacity to be resilient, and Franchise Expo Paris will, more than ever, help future entrepreneurs’ projects to become reality, and support franchise brands in their development.

More than 450 exhibitors have confirmed their participation, displaying a large range of business sectors. This year’s trends are: beauty and selfcare with electrostimulation, home decor with dressing-room, custom-built equipment and Do It Yourself, restaurants and supermarkets with upmarket products, and delicatessen, premium burger, Thaï specialties, and organic products.

The B2C services sector has experienced a huge increase in its activity with the sanitary crisis, as well as construction. The September edition of Franchise Expo Paris will be the starting point of the post-epidemic revival.

This year, the show has a digital platform titled Franchise Expo Online. It will allow exhibitors and visitors to prepare their event by filling in a detailed presentation sheet and finding the right business partner according to their criteria.

They will be able to send meeting requests that can be made directly on the show or online if one cannot travel to France. Moreover, the platform will still be running one month after the show, to enable the participants to connect with the ones they couldn’t meet during the four-day event.

Attending Franchise Expo Paris is the opportunity to meet and discuss with the founders, development managers, and franchisees of the network. They will all be able to help you with your project.

“After a sales career in mass market retailing, then in a training company for employees in the B2C services sector, they made me redundant due to a reorganization. During my last job, my clients were agencies taking care of children,” said Davy, a franchisee for Babychou Services since 2017. “That’s how I reached these contacts to prepare my future project. Actually, I had a good contact with the founder of Babychou Services. After a few phone calls, she invited me to Franchise Expo Paris in 2017, this is where my adventure started!“

“As far as our development is concerned, we are really looking forward to the 39th edition of Franchise Expo Paris. To meet new candidates, nothing trumps a meeting in real life,” said Naturalia, an organic product specialist. “Franchise Expo Paris allows candidates to meet several franchise concepts and to weigh up the pros and cons of each one.”
