What items are excluded from the Carbones Pizzeria estimates for standard tenant improvements?

According to Carbones Pizzeria's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated costs for standard tenant improvements exclude specific items. The FDD specifies that the estimates assume standard tenant improvements within a structure designed for commercial use.

However, the estimate does not include structural modifications, site work, energy studies, surveys, and/or exterior improvements. This means that if a prospective Carbones Pizzeria franchisee's location requires any of these excluded items, they should anticipate additional costs beyond the $130,000 to $400,000 estimated for leasehold improvements.

Prospective franchisees should carefully evaluate the condition of potential locations and factor in the costs of any necessary modifications or improvements not covered in the standard tenant improvement estimate to accurately assess their total initial investment.
