Greyder’s golden franchise

Greyder is a leading Turkish footwear brand founded in Çorum in 1956 and known for combining durable materials, modern urban design and high-quality craftsmanship. With more than 150 stores and distribution in over 40 countries, the company has evolved from a national footwear manufacturer into an international retail player. What makes Greyder’s franchise model unique is its “Golden Franchise” system — a concept that merges traditional franchising with investment-led residency opportunities in Europe and the United States. This approach allows entrepreneurs not only to open a store under a well-established brand, but also to leverage structured investment pathways that may support relocation or residency depending on the applicable local program.

Greyder stores can currently be found across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and North Africa, reflecting the company’s long-standing export footprint. The new expansion strategy focuses specifically on Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States — markets selected for their strong purchasing power, large consumer base and strategic relevance for global brand building.

Becoming a Greyder franchisee begins with an application reviewed by the company and its strategic partners, Nova Golden Franchise and Franchising.Market. Candidates undergo an assessment of market suitability, investment readiness and operational capacity. Once approved, franchisees receive comprehensive onboarding and access to a turnkey retail model that includes store design, product supply, training, and marketing support.

A transparent financial structure and scalable business model

The financial commitment required to join the Greyder network starts at USD 150,000. This investment covers store setup aligned with Greyder’s global retail standards and can be adapted to high-street locations, shopping malls or outlet formats. Ongoing fees vary by country but typically include a royalty linked to store revenue and a modest marketing contribution that supports brand-wide promotional efforts.

Revenue potential depends on store size, location and market dynamics, but Greyder’s model is built on strong consumer demand for quality footwear at accessible prices — a segment that performs consistently even in fluctuating retail cycles. With a vertically integrated supply chain and streamlined sourcing, franchisees benefit from competitive margins and predictable inventory flow. The company provides detailed financial projections during the qualification stage, allowing investors to evaluate the business with clarity.

New franchisees receive full operational support from day one. Greyder provides training in product knowledge, customer service, inventory management and sales operations. The brand also assists with store design, visual merchandising, grand-opening marketing, and continuous performance monitoring. Franchisees remain responsible for daily store operations, staff management, local marketing execution, and maintaining the brand’s service standards — but they operate within a well-structured, proven retail system.

A growing international footprint and a forward-looking strategy

Greyder’s future plans are firmly tied to global expansion. The company aims to strengthen its footprint in Europe and North America while supporting investors interested in combining commercial activity with international residency opportunities. The Golden Franchise model is expected to become a key driver of this growth, presenting a compelling option for entrepreneurs seeking long-term stability, brand partnership and cross-border mobility.

By merging heritage manufacturing, modern retail expertise and a unique investment-plus-residency framework, Greyder has positioned itself as more than a footwear company — it is emerging as a global platform for entrepreneurial development. The brand’s next phase will focus on establishing flagship locations in major international cities, expanding its investor network and reinforcing its reputation as one of the most dynamic Turkish brands on the global stage.
