The story of Happyness

Founder's Vision

The founders of HAPPYNESS aimed, in 1995, to democratize access to quality perfumes and cosmetics in Tunisia. These products were often reserved for an elite or travelers returning from abroad.

Their vision:to create welcoming stores, with quality human advice and fair prices, so that every woman and man can indulge themselves without hesitation. Thirty years later, this mission remains unchanged - and this is precisely what explains the lasting loyalty of a clientele that returns from generation to generation.

Concept Values

• **Accessibility**:quality products at fair prices, for all budgets and all occasions
• **Advice**:teams trained to guide each customer in their choices with expertise and kindness
• **Loyalty**:a lasting customer relationship, built on trust and consistency for 30 years
• **Selection**:a rigorous assortment of brands and products tailored to the market and Tunisian tastes
• **Sustainability**:30 years in existence and 14 stores testify to a solid and sustainable business model

Reason for franchise development

HAPPYNESS is expanding its franchise to cover underserved Tunisian areas. The franchisee benefits from a brand with 30 years of history, an assortment provided by the central purchasing office, and training in beauty sales techniques.

The HAPPYNESS franchise:
• Common purchasing center for the supply of perfumes and cosmetics (quality + price)
• 5-day training: beauty advice, sales techniques, store management
• Strong visual identity and standardized signage provided
• Territorial exclusivity by area
