Upfront investment

$75,000
Normally counted within the total above, not added on top — confirm in the source.
The USD fee is due at signing and nonrefundable. Qualified US veterans receive 10% off. Existing franchisees receive 15% off the then-current individual-Center fee for a second or additional Center. Only one eligible discount applies.
Selected fees
Gross sales includes Center product and service sales, less certain taxes and customer discounts.
Separate from the National Fund. Spend weekly and provide proof; materials need brand approval. Recommended: $8,000-$12,000/month for six months, then $6,000-$8,000/month. A local cooperative may require participation and contributions of at least 3% of gross sales, with timing set by the group. Contributions count toward local spending; none are assessed in the source.
These are selected fees, not the complete fee schedule. Review the full FDD for all fees and conditions.
