Training 

The Michelin Commercial Service Network provides a comprehensive training program for its franchisees, ensuring they have the knowledge and skills needed to run a successful Service Center.

Initial Training Program

Territory Protection

The Michelin Commercial Service Network franchise allocates specific operating areas to its franchisees but does not promise exclusive territory protection.

This means that although franchisees have a defined operating area, it is not exclusively theirs, allowing for potential competition within the franchise network.
