Franchise expansion

Army was born in the digital world, but has been expanding into the physical world as a way of offering a more complete brand experience to customers. The model chosen was franchising, both in Brazil and abroad (in the future). In all cases, however, the brand has control of the business, with at least a 51% stake, and the operation is entrusted to franchisees.

Profile for internationalization

The company has always been inspired by international brands to define its style and has prepared its entire supply chain to meet the specific legal requirements of other countries. In the coming years, the brand plans to expand its international operations, which are currently restricted to Australia, where it has an online operation, to other countries as well.
