Green Motion's global expansion continues with the opening of a new location in the Ivory Coast, announced on Oct. 24.
Expansion across the African continent continues with Fallou Sambe, the franchisee who already owns Green Motion Senegal, acquiring his second master country franchise. During the month of November, Fallou will open two new locations, the first being Abidjan airport, followed by the plateau in the city center, with a substantial fleet of vehicles, according to the company.
The Ivory Coast is a country that balances pulsing metropolises and pristine rainforest, vast culture, and verdant hills, with many opportunities as an African destination for tourists and business.
Richard Lowden, founder and CEO of Green Motion, commented on the new addition: "It is fantastic to see the Green Motion brand continue to expand across the African continent with Fallou acquiring his second Master Country Franchise with ourselves. I would like to take this opportunity to wish him and his team every success for their next stage of growth with Green Motion.”
The Green Motion team will meet their new partners at the World Travel Market in London in early November.
