According to one of the company’s marketing executives, the term ‘franchising’ in describing Benetton is a misnomer. Agents of the company are assigned vast territories, largely through verbal agreements, in which they try to develop Benetton retail outlets. They find smaller investors and store operators exhibiting a ‘Benetton mentality’ to form individual partnerships. An individual agent might supervise and hold an interest in a number of stores. In 1982, Benetton conducted business with 35 agents. Store owners are neither required to pay Benetton a fee nor a royalty for using its name. They are required to carry only Benetton merchandise, maintain a minimum sales level (equivalent to orders for about 3500 garments per year), adhere to suggested mark-ups of about 80 percent above cost and pay for their orders within 90 days.
