Moscow is famous for its huge number of retail chains, centers and markets, where each buyer can purchase everything he needs. Today, we were interested in stores "Beans", which began to rapidly open throughout the capital. The founder was the large company Metro, which simultaneously develops the network of centers of small wholesale trade of the same name, and also launched a franchise project. Moreover, he became very successful and today is already quite well-known among consumers and businessmen. The first Fasol stores began to open in 2012, and today they appear in every yard, becoming convenient retail outlets within walking distance.
Profitable franchise
Grocery stores are a profitable and almost win-win business, although the crisis has recently begun to affect it. People begin to restrict visits to large hypermarkets, since it is difficult to control spending there. Instead, they prefer to shop at small convenience stores. It’s easier to distribute the funds in such a way as to have enough for everything you need until the end of the month.
Fasol stores are the optimal solution for such a market trend, therefore such a trump card as the Metro could not help but use this trump card. Moreover, the very idea of distributing outlets was also thought out to the smallest detail. The company not only does not invest money in this, but, on the contrary, makes a profit, giving others the opportunity to open stores (or convert existing ones) to the standard of this network.
Project development
It was tested in 2012 when the first Bean stores opened. They became the outlets of the Metro company, organized on their own. These were pilot shops, the development of which helped to analyze the project and come to the conclusion about its success. After that, the franchise project was already launched, and the grocery store chain began to grow day by day. For 2012, eighty stores under this brand have already been created in Moscow and the Moscow Region. A whole series opens up in neighboring cities. The priority was the coverage of the regions. The city center is already oversaturated with large hypermarkets. But the network of grocery stores on the periphery is a chance to develop a serious business with minimal investment.
Business Opportunities
So, the Fasol chain of stores is regularly updated with new outlets. To open a store under this brand, you need to own or lease a retail space ranging from 50 m 2 to 150 m 2 . It is important to convert it to the strict requirements of network standards. It takes about 750 thousand rubles. To open a store from scratch, you need to invest about 1750 thousand rubles. Moreover, this is not taking into account the cost of the originally purchased goods.
The minimum purchase amount for franchising is about 300 thousand rubles per month. At the same time, the Metro company provides a basic assortment list, which contains about 600 popular brands that come with a special discount at a fixed price. A franchise buyer receives perpetual rights to own the Bean brand. At the same time, the team of Metro specialists supports you at all stages of building a business, helps optimize the trading space and increase the profitability of the business. The conditions are very attractive, and we can evaluate the results based on the fact that in 2016 it is planned to open 400 new stores under this brand.

Reviews about Beans stores
Despite the fact that the buyer is primarily looking for cheaper products, he values comfort no less. That is why light, spacious stores that offer a wide range of products are so attractive to the end user. According to most regular visitors, this network combines interesting and competitive prices, as well as the comfort inherent in large hypermarkets. Agree, sometimes there is no time to go to the center for a small purchase, but here there is a chance to make it near the house, while experiencing pleasure. It is also important for regular visitors that everything is always available here that may be needed. After work, you no longer need to plan a long route to retail outlets, just go to one and get everything you need.
