MOTOPHOTO EXPANDS INTO QUEBEC
MotoPhoto
Canada entered into an Area Franchise Agreement with MAC Photo
Franchises Inc. (Mac) for expanding the MotoPhoto concept into
Quebec. The plans call for opening 15 franchise full concept stores in
the Greater Montreal Area over the next 5 years and to further expand
the MotoPhoto concept in other areas in Quebec. Mac will open the first
MotoPhoto store this year and will actively seek franchisees and locations
for opening other MotoPhoto stores. “We have all the necessary elements
in place to successfully expand in the Quebec market” says Sam Hamam,
President of CIS Franchising Limited, the master licensee for MotoPhoto
in Canada. Mac brings the management and the local Quebec market knowledge
which are necessary for this expansion.
MotoPhoto
is North America’s largest franchise chain of photo imaging retail
stores with over 200 stores in the United States and 30 in Ontario. MotoPhoto
provides its customers with a full concept imaging store including its
customer friendly and interactive digital portrait studio (DPS).
MotoPhoto has taken
full advantage of the digital revolution and developed its system to uniquely
position itself to accelerate its growth opportunities. MotoPhoto’s
exclusive Picturewire? Centre offers customers the convenience of on-line
digital printing coupled with the confidence of customers dealing with
a brick & mortar specialty store.
Hamam sums it up “We
offer our customers Real Pictures from their digital cameras, faster,
easier and less expensive, on-line or in-store”.
