What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated building/build-out costs range from $318,500 to $600,000. These costs can be paid in a lump sum or financed.
The payments for building/build-out costs are made to 7 Brew's affiliate or to third parties, such as the landlord and/or contractor. This means a prospective franchisee might be working directly with 7 Brew for the construction of the modular building, or they may be dealing with outside contractors and the property owner depending on the specific arrangement.
It's important to note that these costs cover the construction of the modular building and related signage. Additional expenses, such as freight and installation, could add up to $30,000 per building each, especially for hurricane-resistant buildings in coastal areas. Franchisees should clarify with 7 Brew the specifics of who they will be paying and what is covered under the building/build-out costs to avoid unexpected expenses.
