According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for a standard franchise agreement ranges from $366,191 to $497,168. This total includes various expenditures such as the initial franchise fee, grand opening marketing, legal fees, lease review fees, furniture, fixtures, equipment, build-out costs, architectural fees, signage, initial inventory, training expenses, government fees, and working capital for the first three months. These costs can vary based on factors like location, supplier agreements, and the extent of leasehold improvements required.
For those pursuing an Area Development Agreement, the initial investment ranges from $406,191 to $677,168. This includes the development fee, which ranges from $40,000 to $180,000, in addition to the initial investment for each franchised outlet. The development fee is determined by the number of restaurants the franchisee commits to developing within the designated territory and is non-refundable.
Beyond Juicery Eatery also provides notes with additional details regarding the estimated initial investment. Note 13 recommends that franchisees have at least 50% of the estimated initial investment in equity and finance no more than 50% with debt. Note 14 indicates that these estimates are based on a development schedule of five to ten restaurants. These estimates do not include the owner's salary or draw. Prospective franchisees should carefully review these estimates with a business advisor, considering that actual costs may vary depending on market conditions and individual circumstances.
