What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost for hardware and installation varies depending on the store configuration. For a small format treat centric location, the hardware purchase option ranges from $8,557.29 to $8,779.94, with installation costing $3,979.53, and an average cabling cost of $769.90.
For a typical treat centric location, the FDD does not provide the purchase option costs for hardware and installation. However, for a new construction standard Grill and Chill location, the hardware purchase ranges from $12,740.74 to $13,039.33, and installation ranges from $4,032.59 to $5,206.16.
Prospective franchisees should note that these costs are estimates and can vary based on the specific site survey and equipment needs. The FDD indicates that participating locations will sign a separate sales order that reflects the store's specific configuration and equipment needs, which may include additional items not listed in the standard configurations. It is important for potential franchisees to conduct a thorough site survey and obtain a detailed sales order to accurately assess the hardware and installation costs for their specific Dq Treat location.
