According to Bang Cookies' 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment to open one Bang Cookies bakery location ranges from $403,870 to $709,020. This investment covers various startup expenses. These estimates are based on the experiences of Bang Cookies' affiliate in developing a Bang Cookies shop.

Several factors can influence the total cost, including the size of the shop, local market conditions (such as rent, labor, and construction rates), local licensing costs, competition, and the condition of the selected shop location. Landlord-funded tenant improvements, the capabilities of the management team, and the shop's sales level can also affect costs. These estimates do not include interest, financing charges, or management compensation for the franchisee or owners.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review these estimates with business, accounting, and legal advisors before signing a Franchise Agreement. The estimates provided are for a single shop. If a franchisee signs a Multi-Unit Development Agreement, the estimated amount will be required for each shop developed. It is important to note that the estimate for a Bakery Location assumes the shop will be approximately 1,800 to 3,000 square feet, with 600 to 700 square feet dedicated to back-of-house operations, including a kitchen, storage, and service lines. The Bakery Location must have complete dough production capabilities, including specialized mixers and cooking equipment.
