"Our company has taken part in the BuyBrand exhibition for the fourth time and I would like to point out that this event was interesting, not similar to the previous ones. We had a lot of doubts that potential franchise owners would come to Moscow in these uneasy times. We were indeed surprised. The exhibition far exceeded our expectations. In general, we are glad that we participated at the BuyBrand. I sincerely thank the organisers for this opportunity to be an exhibitor at this show."
