Franchise arrangements are rare in Guinea, but the U.S. Embassy is aware of franchising in petroleum distributorships with the French oil company Total and by Sheraton Hotels and Resorts, which opened the Sheraton Grand Hotel Conakry in late 2016. Over 20 Guinean entrepreneurs attended the International Franchise Expo in New York (May 31 – June 2, 2018) but their visit resulted in no franchise investments.
