According to 1 800 Packouts's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company estimates that franchisees will rent a facility between 5,000 and 20,000 square feet. The document also estimates the cost at $10 per square foot for the security deposit, utilities deposit, and initial months of rent. While 1 800 Packouts expects most facilities to be within this size range, they may approve smaller facilities at their discretion.

Prospective franchisees should note that the actual rent may vary based on market factors in their specific area. The initial investment table includes pre-operations rent expenses, as well as estimates for rent during the initial period of operations.
