What is shell franchise?

A shell franchise refers to a business partnership between oil and gas company Shell and an independent business owner, where the latter operates a franchise location licensed by Shell. These franchise locations sell Shell-branded gasoline, diesel, and other fuel-related products, as well as convenience store items such as snacks, beverages, and automotive accessories. The franchise owner also benefits from Shell's global marketing and branding campaigns, operational support, and training programs. In exchange, the franchise owner pays an initial franchise fee and ongoing royalties to Shell. Shell franchises can be found in multiple countries, and the company offers various franchise models to fit different business needs and market conditions.
