What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated cost for signage ranges from $700 to $2,500. This includes both interior and exterior signage bearing City Wide's marks, which the franchisee is required to acquire. The franchisee must use at least the standard signage that City Wide requires for every location, but some franchisees may choose to have more than the standard quantities.
The FDD notes that the cost of signage can vary based on several factors, including the type, size, and location of the signs. Additionally, applicable municipal codes and zoning restrictions can also affect the cost. Franchisees must obtain logo files from City Wide and have their signage reviewed and approved by the City Wide marketing department before production.
This cost is part of the initial investment required to start a City Wide franchise. It is important for prospective franchisees to factor in these costs when planning their budget. The signage costs are due before opening and are paid to approved suppliers and vendors. Given the variability in signage costs, franchisees should consult with approved suppliers and local authorities to get accurate estimates for their specific location and needs.
