Investment and fees
What it costs to open and operate
Upfront investment
Total initial investment
$100,500 – $211,250
The USD estimate includes franchise and territory fees and $25,000-$40,000 for expenses before opening and the first three months. Office/workspace costs are excluded; a separate office or retail site increases the investment. Additional funds may be needed.
Initial franchise fee
$19,950
Normally counted within the total above, not added on top — confirm in the source.
Due at signing and nonrefundable, the first-franchise fee includes initial training and the start-up package. Eligible veterans, active service members, and their spouses pay $16,958. A separate territory fee is also included in the opening estimate.
Selected fees
RoyaltyMonthly: greater of 3.5% of Gross Revenue or Tier 1 $2,500; Tier 2 $1,875; Tier 3 $1,250.
Prior-month revenue counts whether collected or not, at installation or 90 days after ordering, whichever is first. Minimums may increase each April 1 by up to the Consumer Price Index increase. Gray Area sales carry 3.5%, added to the oldest territory's revenue; a separate rate may be set.
Advertising contributionNational fund per territory/month: Tier 1 $1,000; Tier 2 $750; Tier 3 $500.
These rates apply below the contractual threshold of 1,500 U.S. franchises granted. At that threshold, monthly payments become Tier 1 $1,500, Tier 2 $1,125, and Tier 3 $750. Payments may increase each April 1 by up to the Consumer Price Index increase. Fund spending need not occur in your territory.
