There are several companies among the exhibitors – e.g. Centronet, dry cleaning; Fragos/Mandarino, kids clothes – whose names are well known in Hungary although they are not yet entered the Hungarian market but in most of these cases companies are know from foreign advertising campaigns. Now the First Hungarian BuyBrand Show and International Franchise Expo offers possibility to Hungarian entrepreneurs to be part of the success of these international brands while keeping their independence. One of the registered exhibitors of the Expo is The Athlete’s Foot Group, a North-American based operator of more than 700 stores in 45 nations. The company is the world’s largest franchise retailer of athletic footwear. “We are most interested in the Hungarian market because of the strong sports culture in Hungary as well as the huge emphasis on sports-fashion.” – said Dan Benton, Director of European Development of The Athlete’s Foot. “ Hungary ’s entry into the European Community combined with a strengthening economy make our fresh, American-based retail concept a strong prospect for the right Hungarian franchise partner. The athletic footwear business is a fun industry, based on sports, fitness, style and active lifestyle. Everyone loves to get a new pair of ‘sneakers’. We hope to find a Master franchise partner for Hungary who shares this belief in our company.” Another exhibitor is the French dry cleaning network, 5 a` sec. As Éva Czigány director said: “In the retail sector, the Hungarian business culture has reached the West-European standards, so we can cooperate with reliable professional partners in the expansion of the market of our successful brand. And the independence of our partners is the strongest base of their commitment.” The exhibitors registered so far operate in those sectors where franchise is a common method of doing successful business, such as Fast Food restaurants, dry cleaners, business advisor companies, sportswear, kids clothing, confectionery shops, souvenir shops, interior design shop, jewelleries, or real estate agencies.
