Investment and fees
What it costs to open and operate
Upfront investment
Initial franchise fee
$52,500
US dollars, due at signing. A separate $12,750 onboarding fee is also due then. The franchise fee is refundable only at 50% if the franchisor terminates for failure to meet pre-opening or training obligations. This card shows fees, not a total opening budget.
Selected fees
Royalty8% of Gross Sales monthly, subject to minimums per Marketing Area
Monthly minimum per area: $0 in months 1-5; $500 in 6-12; $800 in 13-24; $1,000 in 25-36; $1,200 from month 37. Each area's minimum schedule starts when operations begin there. Gross Sales includes accrued revenue even if uncollected, with contractual exclusions.
Advertising contributionMarketing/technology: $950/month, plus $200/month per active additional contiguous area
Starts the first full month after signing; the extra-area charge starts when marketing begins there. Covers website, CRM, email, and marketing support, rather than a separate advertising fund. Increases may occur no more than annually with costs and cannot exceed 110% of actual franchisor or affiliate costs and expenses. Local spending is separate.
Local marketingFirst year: at least $10,000 for FastTrack, plus a required market event budget up to $5,000
The franchisor sets the event amount based on territory, advertising costs, sponsorships, and other factors; the opening estimate allows $3,000-$5,000. Both programs are included in the opening estimate. Network promotions may also require spending or discounts, capped at $5,000 annually toward such an initiative. Advertising needs brand approval.
These are selected fees, not the complete fee schedule. Review the full FDD for all fees and conditions.
