What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for furniture, fixtures, and equipment ranges from $5,000 to $16,000. These costs are expected to be arranged before opening and are payable to approved suppliers and vendors.
The FDD notes that the equipment estimate does not include freight or unique design alterations requested by the franchisee, or alterations necessitated by an unusual configuration of the site. The specific equipment necessary for operating a City Wide franchise office is detailed in the confidential Operating Manual. Franchisees have the option to either purchase or lease approved brands and models from approved suppliers.
The actual cost of furniture, fixtures, and equipment can vary based on several factors, including available financing terms, the size of the franchise location, and the specific brands purchased. While franchisees are not required to purchase these items from City Wide or any specified source, all equipment, fixtures, and interior decor must meet City Wide's standards and specifications and receive approval from City Wide. Local ordinances may also influence the type of required equipment, which in turn can affect the total price.
