Note 2: Real property costs vary considerably according to geographic location and immediate surrounding factors, such as traffic, property values, and demographics. (For example, rent costs are likely to be higher on the West Coast and East Coast and in dense major metropolitan areas and central business districts like Chicago.) The typical 7 BREW Store generally requires a lot ranging from 8,000 to 50,000 square feet on which the modular building—itself 510 square feet in size—will be placed. 7 BREW stores typically are placed on an out-parcel to a shopping center with street exposure in an urban or downtown location with heavy population, preferably with highway exposure or proximity.
Factors typically affecting your initial investment include your cost to negotiate the lease; local real estate market values; terms under which other locations have been leased; how the costs to renovate or develop the land, building, and other site improvements are allocated between landlord and tenant; interest costs; and the parties' negotiations. Lease terms are individually negotiated and may vary materially from one location or transaction to another.
Building costs include the cost to construct a modular building and related signage. Site development costs include the costs to develop the land and other site improvements, including exterior landscaping, electrical and water hookup, paving, sidewalks, lighting, etc. Some local governments may charge an additional amount for utility connections to offset their costs of maintaining water and sewer plants; these amounts are not included in the above figure.
