- For any of the Store types, you must own a location approved by us or you must lease a location approved by us. Whether you own or lease, you must improve, construct, remodel and decorate the space to our specifications. These estimates assume that your location will be a leased, unimproved, unfinished retail store-type unit. A Traditional Store typically occupies 500 to 1,500 square feet of commercial space. A Kiosk Outlet typically occupies 100 to 500 square feet of commercial space. These POS types typically are located on a major thoroughfare, or in or adjacent to a retail strip mall or shopping center, or in an urban storefront. A Mobile Structure outlet typically occupies 60 to 100 square feet of commercial space, and is typically located within an
enclosed shopping mall, college campus, or other closed market environment. Your lease is subject to our approval and must contain certain terms we require, as described in your franchise agreement. Rents may range from $20.00 to $200.00 per square foot per year, depending upon factors such as size, condition and location of the leased premises. Your rent will generally be a fixed base rent plus common maintenance, taxes and insurance. However, some leases will be on a "gross basis" which would typically include all common maintenance, taxes and insurance. Your lease may also provide for percentage rent, which will be a percentage of your sales at the Store.
