May And Co builds the system. The owner runs the business.
Eight things arrive with the brand, and stay with it.
Brand licence and design pack
Approved identity, kiosk design intent, signage, packaging and visual standards.
Assortment and sourcing
Opening inventory architecture, approved sourcing and disciplined replenishment guidance.
Training and operating procedures
Product knowledge, selling, weighing, stock handling, customer care and daily controls.
Technology toolkit
Point of sale, inventory reporting requirements, approved data fields and performance reporting.
Launch support
Pre-opening checklist, staff training, content toolkit and a location-specific launch plan.
Ongoing brand stewardship
Visual merchandising updates, product drops, marketing guidance and operating reviews.
Modern retail intelligence
Data-backed staffing, peak-hour analysis and buying pattern insight for smarter decisions.
Franchise performance dashboard
Central visibility into sales, inventory turns, fast-moving designs and replenishment cycles.
The things that are hard to build once.
- Brand, design and packaging standards
- Assortment architecture and approved sourcing
- Systems, data fields and reporting
- Training, procedures and launch structure
- Supplier approval and audit
The things that cannot be done from head office.
- The site, the team and the working capital
- Daily leadership, in the store
- Local client relationships
- Compliance with the operating standard
- Evidenced funding and a local trade licence
What sits outside, and is always location-specific.
Certain costs are location-specific and sit outside the core investment: mall rent and deposits, service charges, trade licence, tax, insurance, staff salaries and visas, utilities, bank guarantees, the recurring marketing levy and additional working capital.
No surprise promise.
Every site receives a feasibility review and a written commercial schedule before commitment.
The division of labour is the point.
You run a shop and lead a team. Sourcing, assortment, packaging, marketing, systems, imports, repairs and replenishment sit with the house.
