The Qualities Sought in Future Franchisees
According to Mélinda Compard, a successful Feu Vert franchisee must above all be a skilled retailer, manager, and business operator. In addition to these qualities, a personal contribution of around €100,000 is required to join the network and open an automotive center, whose size generally ranges between 500 and 900 m², with teams of 8 to 15 employees.
An Ambitious Expansion Strategy
Feu Vert continues to innovate and expand its network, not only in France but also internationally.

This opening marks the beginning of a master franchise expansion strategy, creating new international opportunities.
