What is the initial franchise fee for an Antioch Pizza Shop Dine-In Restaurant?

According to Antioch Pizza Shop's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee for a Dine-In Restaurant is $40,000. This fee is paid when the Franchise Agreement is signed.

The initial franchise fee grants the franchisee the right to operate an Antioch Pizza Shop Dine-In Restaurant. It is important to note that this fee is generally nonrefundable once paid, although there may be exceptions if the type of franchise developed changes. This means that if a franchisee initially signs up for a Dine-In Restaurant but later switches to a different type of franchise, such as an Express Restaurant, Antioch Pizza Shop may refund the difference between the fees or require the franchisee to pay the difference if the new franchise type has a higher fee.

For franchisees considering a multi-unit development, the initial franchise fee structure is different. Under a Multi-Unit Development Agreement, the franchisee pays a Development Fee, which covers the initial franchise fees for all additional Antioch Pizza Shop locations to be developed. The initial franchise fee for each additional Dine-In Restaurant or Take-Out/Delivery Restaurant is discounted to $32,000. For example, a Multi-Unit Development Agreement for two Dine-In or Take-Out/Delivery Restaurants would require a payment of $72,000 at signing. When the Franchise Agreement is signed for each additional location, a portion of the Development Fee is applied, so no additional initial franchise fee is due at that time.
