# The 30 largest franchise networks in the Rh么ne department
Tamtam tracks 32 franchise networks headquartered in the Rh么ne department. This list ranks the 30 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Carrefour Express, Point S and Cuisines AvivA. Their median headcount is 71. Half of them were founded in 2006 or later. The most common headquarters are Lyon (12), Saint-Priest (4) and Dardilly (3).
This selection of franchise networks in the Rh么ne department includes a mix of retail, services, and automotive companies. Carrefour Express operates supermarkets, Point S offers tire sales and car maintenance, Cuisines AvivA designs and sells kitchen furniture, and Vatel Business School prepares professionals for hospitality management. Other notable companies include L'Appart Fitness, a network of fitness clubs, and ASSADIA, which provides at-home childcare services. These companies represent various sectors, from daily essentials to specialized services.
The headquarters of these franchise networks are concentrated in and around Lyon, with several companies based in Lyon itself, such as Carrefour Express, Point S, Vatel Business School, and ASSADIA. Villeurbanne is home to Cuisines AvivA and L'Appart Fitness, while Saint-Priest hosts First Stop France and BigMat Girardon. This geographical pattern suggests a strong regional base for the development and management of these franchise operations.

## How this list is built
Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
