What is the initial franchise fee for an Antioch Pizza Shop Take-Out/Delivery Restaurant?

According to Antioch Pizza Shop's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee for a Take-Out/Delivery Restaurant is $40,000. This fee is paid when the Franchise Agreement is signed. The FDD specifies that the initial franchise fee covers the rights to operate an Antioch Pizza Shop business under their brand and system.

For franchisees considering a multi-unit development, the initial franchise fee is discounted by 20% for additional restaurants after the first one. This means the initial franchise fee for additional Take-Out/Delivery Restaurants developed under a Multi-Unit Development Agreement would be $32,000. For example, if a franchisee signs a Multi-Unit Development Agreement for 2 Take-Out/Delivery Restaurants, they would pay $72,000 when signing the agreement. This includes the full initial fee for the first restaurant ($40,000) and the discounted fee for the second ($32,000).

It is important to note that the initial franchise fee is generally non-refundable once paid, although there are exceptions if the type of franchise being developed changes. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider their site availability and business plans before signing the Franchise Agreement and paying the initial fee. Additionally, franchisees must purchase at least one dough roller from Wix Repair, Inc., an affiliate of Antioch Pizza Shop, before opening, with costs ranging from $3,500 to $10,000.
