What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buona's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost of leasehold improvements for a Buona inline single brand franchise can vary significantly based on factors such as the size and configuration of the premises, as well as pre-construction and construction costs.
The low end of the range assumes that the premises was previously used as a restaurant, potentially reducing the need for extensive modifications. Alternatively, it is presumed that the landlord may offer a partial build-out allowance, which would also lower the initial costs for the franchisee.
Prospective Buona franchisees should carefully consider these factors and conduct thorough due diligence to accurately estimate the potential costs of leasehold improvements for their specific location. Understanding these variables is crucial for effective financial planning and ensuring the long-term success of the franchise.
