Feu Vert, the fast-fit car maintenance and repair chain, is ending a quiet year in terms of development, and is aiming for more openings in 2015.
From 310 a year ago, Green Light has grown to 313 centers in France today, including 181 franchises. The concept dedicated to rapid maintenance Feu Vert Services grew by 2 units to 28 locations, including 4 owned by independents.
"Fiscal 2014 wasn't a great year in terms of development, but we have many projects in the pipeline, so we should open more in 2015, a priori 9 units at least under one or other of our concepts," announces Véronique Polloce, the brand's recruitment manager.
Another new development for the group is the creation, by its owner Financière Cofidim, of a central purchasing and negotiation unit for all its activities: Feu Vert, Feuvert.fr, Feu Vert Services, Feu Vert Entreprise, but also Mondial Pare-Brisein France, Spain, Portugal, Poland and Italy. The aim is to "strengthen the Group's development and competitiveness in an increasingly competitive environment [...] and provide an additional asset for the 717 branch and franchisecenters" .
