According to Aunt Millies Bakeries's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee is determined by Aunt Millie's Bakeries and is a multiple of the average weekly net sales of different categories of products to outlets within the franchisee's sales area. The FDD states that Aunt Millie's Bakeries will establish the average weekly net sales based on historical sales records in the sales area and will determine the franchise fee based on that evaluation for each sales area offered. The franchisee will be given specific information for their sales area.

The FDD estimates that initial franchise fees will range from $30,000 to $100,000. The initial franchise fee is to be paid in one lump sum payment, some or all of which may be financed as detailed in Item 10 and Exhibits B and J to this Franchise Disclosure Document. The initial franchise fee is not refundable.

For prospective Aunt Millie's Bakeries franchisees, this means the initial franchise fee will vary depending on the specific sales area they are considering. The fee is based on the historical performance of that area, so areas with higher sales will command a higher franchise fee. It is important for potential franchisees to carefully review the specific information provided for their sales area to understand the basis for the fee and its potential return on investment. The availability of financing options may help reduce the upfront financial burden, but franchisees should carefully consider the terms and conditions of any financing agreements.
