Real estate company Foros said it has signed up two franchisees, in Plovdiv and in Stara Zagora.

The first of the signed contracts are for a period of five years.

The Foros franchise project was officially announced in April this year, but has been in the works since December 2007, programme director Milena Mihailova said. The programme targets urban areas where Foros has a market presence.
