ABOUT THE FRANCHISE INVESTMENT

Franchise Fee

This one-time payment is due when you sign a franchise agreement with The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill. The full value is currently $37,500, which covers many key items, including (but not limited to) assistance with location selection, lease negotiation, site build-out, initial training, assistance with staff recruitment and training, access to preferred vendors, startup marketing kit, and help with the launch of your restaurant. This amount is based on a number of factors, including the complexity and uniqueness of the franchise model, the company’s cost for acquisition, development, and granting franchise, and the expected ROI of the business.

Liquid Capital

Liquid capital includes assets that are readily available to keep your business financially stable until you begin to generate profit. We require all our franchisees to have a liquid capital of approximately $200,000 that is in-the-bank, non-borrowed, and ready to invest in order to cover construction costs, rent, wages, advertising, and other costs associated with starting a restaurant. We encourage our franchisees to have more on hand to ensure a smoothly startup process from the get-go.

Total Investment

To become a Great Greek franchisee, prepare to invest between $650,000 to $800,000. This range due to a number of factors that come into play, such as the location of the franchise, local demand in Canada, regional construction rates, rent, supplies and equipment, and other relevant elements. This amount should be enough to cover all the requirements and expenses involved in starting a restaurant business. Some of the expenses you may encounter before your grand opening include insurance, fees for consultancy or legal services should you choose, and lease deposits.

Royalty Payments

As a Great Greek Mediterranean Grill franchise, you’re required to pay monthly royalties. As you start your Great Greek restaurant, you will contribute 6 percent of your gross sales revenue to royalties. This will cover the resources and ongoing support you will receive from our brand and corporate team. These include access to our suppliers, marketing and advertising, recruitment and human resources, management support, new developments with the brand and our offerings, and other services you’d need throughout the agreement.
