Promod

Promod is a French, family-owned women's-fashion chain. It offers feminine ready-to-wear and accessories for the everyday modern woman in a boutique-style setting rather than a big-box store. It differs from large chains in its family backing and above all its partnership model: a partner doesn't get a classic franchise licence, but a commission-affiliation distribution agreement with no entry fee.

As an affiliated partner you get the concept, seasonal collections, merchandising and store layout, a multi-week initial training at the brand's headquarters, and ongoing support right in the store. Supplying and restocking are handled by the brand, as are prices, discounts, and sales. What stays on you is the space and rent, store fit-out, hiring and leading the staff, and daily selling.
