By making this business move, Gelasakis Group, the Carwiz Greece franchisee, is expanding business through sub-franchise contracts. It's expected that this company, part of the Croatian owned Carwiz International franchise network, could reach about 5% of the Greek rental market.

"We are extremely glad that after just over two years of market preparation, we managed to start a business through sub-franchise contracts in Greece," said Antonios Gelasakis, CEO of Carwiz Greece. "Thanks to the good partnership and mentorship of Carwiz International, everything will soon be ready for our first clients."

Both further expansion of rental services and developing new partnerships are Carwiz's main strategic goals for the year

In the last two years, Carwiz's Greek partners have expanded the business from the initial three locations to eleven locations, and then launched the second phase, sub-franchise contracts based on the Croatian business model.
