Pioneer in the sale of second-hand products, Cash Express continues its expansion in Reunion with the opening of a new franchise store in Sainte-Clotilde. Inaugurated on July 4, this new point of sale reinforces the brand’s place on the island.
Five years after the takeover, in 2018, of a first store in Saint- Pierre, Frédérick Brunet repeats the adventure with his partner Kessan Carpentier by setting up in Sainte-Clotilde. Frédérick Brunet is a business leader who chose to reinvent himself by changing profession and location to meet his aspirations.. In 2016, after thirty years in the industrial sector, including twenty at the head of several companies, Frédérick Brunet merged his companies and sold them, making his dream of settling in Reunion come true one year later. By exploring franchise lounges, this natural geek was seduced by the world of the second-hand market, what's more by the philosophy of the Cash Express network with which it shares a lot in common in terms of its experience : “People on the ground, collaborative work, transversal mode of decision-making between the group and the franchisees... I liked the concept as well as the team and its way of working. Conviviality, the quality and technological performance of the brand, very modern, the confidence she inspired in me, immediately encouraged me to join this network. »
From franchisee to multi-franchisee Cash Express
Frédérick Brunet took over, end of 2018 in Saint-Pierre, a 300 m2 Cash Express store, created eight years ago. Today, the team based in Saint-Pierre brings together seven people. After two and a half years of research, Frédérick Brunet inaugurated July 4, in association with his son-in-law, Kessan, a second Cash Express point of sale in Sainte-Clotilde. The Sainte-Clotilde store, of 150 m2, today employs two people and offers the same type of products as that of Saint-Pierre. Frédérick Brunet and Kessan Carpentier are considering, eventually, to have four Cash Express points of sale to cover the entire island. Cash Express is one of the historic leaders in the purchase and sale of second-hand products and objects on the French market since 2002.. The brand has 130 stores spread across France, Belgium and Portugal.
