Feu Vert : A Model of Franchise Success in Action
A behind-the-scenes look at a franchised Feu Vert center in Vendôme, where organization, complementarity, and autonomy shape daily operations.
In Loir-et-Cher, the Feu Vert center in Vendôme perfectly embodies the dynamism of the brand’s franchise model. Taken over in 2022 by a duo of experienced franchisees, this center reflects a rigorous organization, complementary skills, and a strong sense of teamwork.
One of the managers is in charge of customer service and workshop management, while the other handles all administrative, accounting, and HR tasks. Their professional synergy, already proven in a previous center, continues to work efficiently in this new project. Their complementarity is a valuable asset to ensure the overall performance of the center.
Their daily routine is well structured: the center opens at 8:30 a.m., followed by a morning briefing with the technical teams, customer reception, preparation of parts for the next day’s interventions, schedule monitoring, and order management. Organization is a key pillar of their success, with well-established procedures, especially to avoid supply-related issues.
The franchisees emphasize the importance of maintaining a work-life balance. Despite their responsibilities, they have chosen to keep their usual days off and a sustainable work rhythm. "You have to make time for yourself," they explain, fully aware of the risks of burnout in entrepreneurship.
This testimonial also highlights the freedom offered by the Feu Vert franchise model: autonomy in managing the center, while benefiting from support (store layout plans, national communication, business tools). The brand also encourages franchisees to initiate local marketing campaigns or adapt certain organizational aspects.
In Vendôme, the entrepreneurial journey comes to life thanks to a united team, a proven method, and a shared passion for customer service and the automotive world. A concrete illustration of what it means to “live the life of a franchisee” within the Feu Vert network.
