What discount on the initial franchise fee does Craters & Freighters offer to qualified veterans?

According to the 2025 Craters & Freighters Franchise Disclosure Document, Craters & Freighters offers a discount on the initial franchise fee to veterans. Specifically, Craters & Freighters participates in the VetFran program, which provides qualified veterans of the United States armed forces a $5,000 discount on the initial franchise fee.

To qualify for this discount, a veteran must show evidence of an honorable discharge. This incentive aims to support veterans in starting their own Craters & Freighters franchise by reducing the upfront costs associated with the initial investment.

For prospective franchisees who are veterans, this discount can significantly lower the financial barrier to entry. The initial franchise fee is $35,000 for a territory with a population under 1,000,000 people, or $45,000 for a territory with 1,000,000 or more people, so the $5,000 discount represents a meaningful reduction in either case. Veterans should ensure they have the necessary documentation to prove their honorable discharge when applying for a Craters & Freighters franchise to take advantage of this program.
