Bushman lists 29 stores, with varying public holiday hours at its franchises

Bushman’s official store directory, available as of 29 September 2026, lists 29 branches in its header. For those interested in the Czech franchise market, it also offers a specific view of partner-operated outlets, identifying stores in Brno, Olomouc and Teplice as franchises. Individual listings already include opening hours for 28 October 2026, a Czech public holiday. These vary even among the explicitly identified franchise stores.

Franchise stores in three cities

The brand’s supplied directory explicitly identifies three stores in Brno, the Olomouc branch in Galerie Šantovka and the Teplice store in the Fontána shopping centre as franchises. This makes five specific addresses where the brand directly states this operating model. However, the directory is not a comprehensive breakdown of the network’s ownership or contractual structure.

In Brno, the stores are in the Olympia shopping centre at U Dálnice 777, the Královo Pole shopping centre at Cimburkova 4 and Galerie Vaňkovka at Ve Vaňkovce 1. All three entries in the South Moravian section of the directory are labelled as franchise stores. Brno therefore has the largest local concentration of explicitly identified partner-operated outlets in the supplied material.

The Olomouc franchise is in Galerie Šantovka at Polská 1. The Teplice franchise is listed in the Fontána shopping centre at náměstí Svobody 3312. The directory publishes the addresses and regular opening hours of these stores, but gives no information about their operators, the length of their partnerships or the conditions for joining the network.

Franchise opening hours differ on 28 October

Bushman lists all three Brno franchise stores as closed on 28 October 2026. The same applies to the Fontána store in Teplice. By contrast, the Galerie Šantovka store in Olomouc is listed as open from 09:00 to 21:00 that day. Customers therefore cannot assume that all of the brand’s franchises will follow the same public holiday schedule.

Regular weekly opening hours also differ. According to the directory, Brno’s Olympia store opens from 10:00 to 21:00 Monday to Friday and from 09:00 to 21:00 at weekends. Královo Pole lists daily hours of 09:00 to 21:00. Vaňkovka opens from 09:00 to 21:00 Monday to Saturday and from 10:00 to 20:00 on Sundays.

Olomouc’s Šantovka store lists regular daily hours of 09:00 to 21:00, while Teplice’s Fontána store lists 09:00 to 20:00. The published information thus distinguishes between regular opening hours and those for a specific public holiday. The material does not explain the reasons for each schedule, and it provides no basis for inferring any change in legal requirements or its effect on a particular store.

Varying hours across the wider network

The differing schedules for 28 October are not limited to the identified franchises. In Prague, for example, the store in Lazarská Street is listed as closed, while Atrium Flora publishes hours of 10:00 to 21:00 for that day. Westfield Chodov and Metropole Zličín list 09:00 to 21:00. According to the same directory, Galerie Harfa and Europark are due to remain closed.

A similar difference is apparent in Ostrava. The store in Avion Shopping Park is listed as closed on 28 October, whereas Outlet Arena Moravia publishes opening hours of 09:00 to 20:00. These are two stores of the same brand in the same city, yet their announced schedules differ.

Other regional branches listed as open that day include Plzeň Plaza, City Park in Jihlava and Zlaté Jablko in Zlín, all from 09:00 to 21:00. Stores listed as closed include IGY in České Budějovice, Varyáda in Karlovy Vary, Aupark in Hradec Králové and Forum in Liberec. These details describe the planned availability of individual stores, not their commercial performance.

What the directory tells prospective franchisees

For those considering the Czech franchise market, the directory primarily provides concrete information on the presence of partner-operated stores. It documents identified franchise locations in shopping centres and allows readers to compare their published opening hours. However, it contains no announcements of new openings, franchise recruitment or information on investment, fees or returns. The branch count in the header should therefore not be confused with the number of franchisees.

When assessing a potential partnership, it is important to distinguish this public operational information from the contractual terms, which the directory does not disclose. Differences in opening hours alone do not reveal who sets them or what obligations each partner has.

Practical takeaway: Before visiting on 28 October, check the listing for the specific store. Prospective franchisees can use the directory to select outlets to visit, but must obtain the terms of any partnership directly from the brand.
