The timeline for opening your store can vary, primarily influenced by the site selection process. We prioritize ideal locations, which might extend the time needed to find the perfect spot. Our Director of Site Development will support you throughout this journey. After securing a location and lease, we anticipate a minimum of 120 days for the opening. During the Meet the Team Day, we'll present our detailed, multi-phase development process, outlining the steps from signing the franchise agreement to the grand opening.
Certainly, your territory will be safeguarded. Upon signing the franchise agreement, you'll receive a non-exclusive geographic territory for your site selection. After finalizing a lease, our team will analyze demographics to establish your exclusive, protected territory (refer to our FDD for details).
We recommend owners to be hands-on for the initial 120 days and stress the importance of having a full-time general manager from the beginning, ready to assume responsibility when you choose to step back. Our highest-performing stores consistently feature actively involved owners throughout development, opening, and even as they continue to support the GM after transitioning.
The mutual discovery process should take no longer than 6 weeks – simply fill out our online franchise inquiry form and one of our representatives will contact you with the next steps.
