How it works

If you’re excited at the prospect of growing your own business in an exciting industry, then you could be our next Z Retailer. An investment of at least $500,000 is required to purchase the stock in the stores.

We take you through a process to make sure you're a good fit with our culture and have the skills we're looking for. If successful, you then set up your own business and sign a business operating agreement with Z.

On taking over your sites, you purchase the shop stock and employ the staff. You earn income through fixed and variable streams. The variable stream is the margin on your shop sales across the cluster, and the fixed stream of income is called a fixed contract fee.

Your remuneration would vary depending on how many sites you have and how your business performs.
