    Become part of the vomFASS family!

    Take the leap into business ownership! We'll take it with you.

    With more than three decades of experience as a franchisor, we know the challenges – and we know how, when, and where to support you best.

    Before we begin, we evaluate together:

    Does our concept fit you? Does your profile fit us? Before you sign a contract, you'll go through a carefully designed process that authentically prepares you for what awaits you as the owner of a vomFASS store. You make your own decisions, run your own store, and give it your personal signature. We make sure you have every tool and resource you need for your venture. It's your long-term success that we care about. That's why we stand reliably by your side from the first conversation to your store opening – and, of course, beyond, whenever you need us.

    Start prepared. Not rushed.

    In our experience, 6–9 months pass between our first meeting and your opening. We use this time to find a promising retail space together and get you ready for daily store life, so you can hit the ground running from day one.
