We’ve got the answers!
What markets are available?
Several markets are available across Canada. Here are the locations we’ve identified as priorities with strong potential: Ottawa, Trois-Rivières, Old Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, etc.
What is the breakdown of the initial investment?
There is a $35,000 franchise fee for the brand; the rest is subject to location, fit-out and work requirements.
What is the process involved in opening a branch/franchise?
Contact us, secure the necessary financing or funds, find a location, sign the franchise agreement and lease, draw up the plans with a designer, carry out the work, undergo training, then proceed with the store opening.
If there's no royalty on sales, what's the franchisee's business model?
The business model is based on the profitability of the boutiques: we don’t charge a royalty on sales of products in the franchised boutique. However, a royalty is charged by the chocolate production company.
Franchisee testimonials
«Choosing the Cotard Chocolatier franchise was above all a choice made from the heart.
First for the products, the eye-catching colors, the inimitable flavors and shapes that you won’t find anywhere else.
Cotard Chocolatier is a company built on a humane scale, with an eco-responsible ethic in terms of product sourcing, recyclable packaging and so on.
Cotard chocolates are all handmade from natural ingredients, and contain no preservatives.»
Sophie and Jean-Claude • Owners and Managers Cotard Chocolatier Place Laurier, Québec
« It’s been just over a year since we opened our store in Montreal. A little apprehensive at first, we were reassured by Michael and his team. The quality of the chocolates makes them an easy product to sell, with a very high satisfaction rate. We’re delighted to have been able to work with Cotard Chocolatier to open this franchise. »
