Number of units
Le Village had 2 total units in 2024, of which 1 were franchised-owned and 1 company-owned.
Le Village provides a structured and mandatory training program to ensure franchisees and their staff are prepared to operate the business effectively. The training is comprehensive, combining in-person sessions with hands-on experience at existing Le Village Cowork locations. Below are the numbered training programs offered:
Initial Training Program Le Village offers 40 to 80 hours of initial training for the franchisee and up to two staff members at no additional cost, though all travel and living expenses are borne by the franchisee. This program includes classroom sessions and practical training in a functioning franchise location. Successful completion is determined by the franchisor based on tests and observed performance.
Manager Training Every manager must complete the franchisor’s manager training program before taking on operational responsibilities. If a new manager is appointed, they must complete this training within 60 days of assuming their role. Costs are covered by the franchisee beyond the first trainee.
Employee Training All employees must complete mandatory training approved by the franchisor. The franchisee must pay for training costs and cover all related expenses for the employees’ participation. Training may be delivered by the franchisor or a third party.
Territory Protection
Le Village offers franchisees a defined territory where no other Le Village Cowork location—either franchised or company-owned—will be established during the term of the agreement, provided the franchisee remains in compliance.
This territory is outlined in the franchise agreement and is based on demographic and competitive factors. Franchisees are permitted to operate only within this designated area.
However, this territorial protection has important limitations. The franchisor may still market or sell products and services within the franchisee’s territory through other distribution channels or under different brand names.
