1. How to get a franchise of LUGAW REPUBLIC?

The first step is to get in touch with the franchisor, since we have a long list of interested franchisees willing to get a franchise but there is no available location we advise that you look on your own location/area for the business and suggest it immediately to the franchisor for further study, if the desired area passed the requirement for the feasible site then we will start the business. On the other hand if the malls or other stablishement offers us a space for lease we will get in touch to our interested franchisees and offers the space, first parties who confirms the space will have the location. In the first place we will not offer the space to our interested franchisee if the space being offered is not feasible.
