Etos franchising

Etos is the largest chain of retail drug stores in The Netherlands, with around 10 years’ experience in issuing franchises. Etos has around a fifty-fifty mix of own stores and franchise companies – a deliberate, and healthy, balance.

Etos can put innovations to the test within its own stores. The franchise companies can introduce their own entrepreneurial developments.

Etos offers a dynamic relationship between local innovation and working within a strong, national retail practice. Because the collective parts of retail practice are handled by Etos head office, the franchise holders have their hands free for the management of their own stores.

About Etos

Etos aims to lead the way in Health & Beauty. Inspiring, creative, innovative.
In the coming years, Etos aims to develop a distinctive profile, and to continue to grow. The company wants to distinguish itself as an accessible, high-quality, family drug store, where customers can be sure of first-rate advice and the best products at a reasonable price. In these coming years, Etos wants to make its mark even more strongly as a solid, reliable brand. Etos aims to be wherever the customer is. And, thanks to its franchise operations, this is the case.

Etos trade practice consists of a variety of components. Think of the concept of the four worlds, but also of central purchasing, a well-balanced range of goods, a very strong own brand, its campaign policy and its national marketing. These are matters that are centrally regulated for all stores by specialists at the Etos office in Beverwijk.
