According to the 2024 Chop5 Salad Kitchen Franchise Disclosure Document, the development fee ranges from $80,000 to $185,000. This fee is paid as a lump sum.
The development fee is due at the time you sign the Area Development Agreement (ADA) with Chop5 Salad Kitchen. The amount of the fee depends on whether you commit to developing 2 or 5 restaurants, with the low estimate corresponding to 2 restaurants and the high estimate to 5 restaurants. If you plan to develop more than 5 Chop5 Salad Kitchen restaurants, the development fee will increase accordingly.
It is important to note that this initial investment estimate does not include the costs to develop any restaurant other than the first one under the ADA. The initial investment to open the first restaurant ranges from $495,700 to $955,800, which includes the $40,000 franchise fee that is part of the development fee. The total estimated initial investment, including the development fee and the initial investment for the first restaurant, ranges from $575,700 to $1,140,800.
