FoCo Model
$0 Ad Cost
ZUDIO Follow the FOCO Model;
• The FOCO Model (Franchise Owned, Company Operated)Zudio’s
rapid expansion across India is largely due to its innovative FOCO
(Franchise Owned, Company Operated) model.
• Here’s how it works:Zudio partners with franchisees who invest
their own money to build and set up the stores, typically costing
between ₹1.5 to ₹2 crores for a 6,000 square feet outlet.
• Once the store is ready, Zudio takes over the operation and
management, leaving the franchisee to collect a percentage of
the revenue.
• This model allows Zudio to scale quickly without the heavy
capital expenditure that typically accompanies retail expansion.
• As a result, the number of Zudio stores grew from just 7 in 2018
to 352 by March 2023, with plans to cross 500 stores by the end
