Initial Franchise Fee
What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when submitting a franchise application, a non-refundable deposit of $10,000 is due. The initial franchise fee for a Dq Treat store is $25,000. The remaining balance of the initial franchise fee is due within 10 days after ADQ approves the application and issues a written consent letter.
This initial deposit indicates a serious commitment from the applicant, as it is non-refundable, meaning that under most circumstances, the applicant will not get this money back. This deposit is a portion of the total initial franchise fee.
It is important to note that the initial franchise fee is only refundable as described in Item 5 of the FDD. Prospective franchisees should carefully review Item 5 to understand the specific conditions under which a refund may be possible. Franchisees should also be aware that the initial fee must be paid via wire transfer.
