Note 3: Lease Deposits and Rent – Three Months – You must operate your Beard Papa's Kiosk Shop from a Shop Location that we approve and complies with state and local laws. If you do not already own or lease a suitable location you will be required to lease a location that meets our standards and is approved by us. This estimate is based on the assumption that you will be leasing your Beard Papa's Shop Location and is for the estimated amount of the initial lease deposit that you will be required to pay to the landlord at the time of signing your lease and before opening your Shop. The estimate is based on the assumption that your lease deposit will be equal to three months of rent payments. The typical square footage for a Kiosk Shop ranges from 300 to 800 square feet. The amount of your lease deposit is something that you will directly negotiate with the landlord and will vary significantly based on a number of factors that include location and your own negotiations. This estimate does not include the purchase of real property should you elect to purchase the real property of your Shop Location.
