38th FRANCHISE EXPO PARIS

THE LEADING INTERNATIONAL FRANCHISING INDUSTRY EVENT 17-20 MARCH 2019 – PARIS, PORTE DE VERSAILLES, HALLS 2.2 AND 2.3

The leading international franchising industry gathering will again this year welcome thousands of entrepreneurs hoping to realise their dream of setting up in business. Organised by the French Franchise Federation (FFF) and Reed Expositions France, this pioneering exhibition will bring together more than 36,000 French and international brands from 90 activity sectors.

“With almost 2,000 networks generating revenues of €60 billion, the French franchise sector is booming. It is also constantly growing and reinventing itself, as is increasingly evident every year in on the exhibition floor! Things are already looking good for the 38th edition, with more franchisors than last year having already confirmed their participation ’’
Sylvie Gaudy, Exhibition Manager, Franchise Expo Paris.

“Lots of people, who were formerly employees, choose franchising as a route to a new career. With the benefit of the franchisor’s expertise, training/support and brand reputation, the franchise is able to minimise the risk of going into business and save precious time, in areas where a lone entrepreneur could easily make mistakes before any chance of success.’’
Chantal Zimmer, Executive Director, Féderation Française de la Franchise.
