Bata mulling franchise option

It is revealed from the reliable sources that Bata, the largest footwear retailer in the country, is mulling over franchise option to beat the stiff competition in the market. The company is planning to give franchise to the senior employees who are about to retire. According to this business model the company will own these stores but the franchisee will receive commission on sales of that particular store. The franchise owner will be entitled to appoint his workforce who will be trained by Bata itself. However, when contacted by the TFW reporter, the Bata spokesperson totally denied the news.
