What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the build-out costs, which range from $183,858 to $238,423, are paid to the general contractor and other vendors. These costs cover remodeling and renovating the restaurant location, including labor, electrical work, HVAC, carpentry, painting, cement work, flooring, tiling, plumbing, and more.
The method of payment is arranged between the franchisee and the contractor, and the timing of payments is also arranged. The FDD notes that the actual construction, remodeling, and renovation expenses depend on factors like the size and condition of the premises, the extent of leasehold improvements, local labor costs, and the location of the restaurant. The estimate includes tenant improvement allowances of $36,000 to $50,000, which are negotiated between the franchisee and the landlord, but there is no guarantee that a landlord will offer such an allowance.
Prospective franchisees should be aware that these build-out costs are generally nonrefundable and include fees for site plan reviews, zoning, and building permits. It is important for franchisees to carefully review their agreements with contractors and other vendors to understand the refund policies. Additionally, Beyond Juicery Eatery requires franchisees to engage an approved architect for the initial design of the floor plan and exterior elevation, adding another layer of cost and coordination to the build-out process.
