's Fachl operates a shop concept in which small regional producers rent individual sales areas, and the stores are run by franchisees who handle sales. The company describes its focus as regional, sustainable and handmade products. It also runs a loyalty app and a physical customer card, and states that it has developed its own software for organising and selling thousands of products.

Customers are shoppers who buy regional products, small producers and start-ups that rent sales space, and franchisees who operate a store. The company's revenue comes from shelf rental paid by tenants and from its franchise network. The website says that tenants are paid out amounts of money per year, which it presents as its own figures.

The concept started in Vienna in 2015, with further stores in Salzburg, Graz, Linz, Innsbruck and Dornbirn in Austria, and the first international stores in Hamburg and St. Gallen. The website lists 34 locations and plans for 43 to 45. The company is currently recruiting a part-time marketing and promotion role for its stores in Graz, including the CITYPARK and MURPARK locations.
