The Michelin Commercial Service Network is a franchise system consisting of commercial tire dealers headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina.

Training

The Michelin Commercial Service Network provides a comprehensive training program for its franchisees, ensuring they have the knowledge and skills needed to run a successful Service Center.

Initial Training Program

This mandatory program is designed for the franchisee's manager and key staff, covering essential topics such as MCSN best practices, audit procedures, web application usage, and the operation of MCSN software and equipment.

Supplemental Training

Offered to managers and other staff members, this training focuses on updates and additional skills required for efficient Service Center operations.

Certification

Participants in the initial training must successfully complete the program and earn certification within a designated timeframe.

Ongoing Guidance

The franchisor provides continuous support through regular updates and technical bulletins related to the MCSN Service System.

Territory Protection

The Michelin Commercial Service Network franchise allocates specific operating areas to its franchisees but does not promise exclusive territory protection. Franchisees are expected to conduct business within their designated areas; however, the agreement permits the franchisor or other franchisees to operate in the same territory.

This means that although franchisees have a defined operating area, it is not exclusively theirs, allowing for potential competition within the franchise network.
