What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bor Restoration's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the grand opening cost of $500 is due before opening. This cost is categorized as 'as incurred,' meaning the franchisee will pay the advertising vendor as the expenses arise leading up to the grand opening.
This grand opening cost is part of the franchisee's initial investment. Bor Restoration requires franchisees to spend a minimum of $500 on initial advertising within three months of their opening date. This ensures that new franchisees allocate resources to promote their business launch.
Prospective Bor Restoration franchisees should budget for this expense and plan their advertising strategy accordingly. It's important to note that this is a minimum amount, and franchisees may choose to spend more on their grand opening advertising to increase visibility and attract customers. Franchisees should clarify with Bor Restoration what types of advertising qualify towards meeting this initial grand opening cost requirement.
