ChanLeMei global franchise key visual: four core benefits — 30-80㎡ small stores, HQ site selection, unified supply-chain supply, 7-day training — plus the franchise process
01

Small 30-80㎡ format, low barrier

Neighborhood retail, street storefronts and mall kiosks all work. Small floor area, light rent, high sales per square meter — startup capital stays manageable, even for first-time founders.

Great for store #1
02

HQ site evaluation backed by data

We model foot traffic, nearby competitors, rent levels and local spending patterns, then deliver a site evaluation report — so you can see a location's true ceiling before you sign.

Less trial and error
03

Unified supply chain, controlled costs

Global direct sourcing plus regional warehousing: unified supply prices and margin structure. By cutting out middlemen, the price advantage lands directly on your store shelves.

Direct supply, no markup
04

7-day training, hands-on launch support

Seven days of intensive training covering product selection, display, checkout, inventory and shrinkage management; supervisors work on-site during opening to turn standards into habits.

You're not alone on day one
