What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated cost for building, construction, and leasehold improvements for a captive-venue location ranges from $235,000 to $470,000. These costs are paid as incurred prior to opening to landlords, third-party suppliers, and contractors.
Item 7 provides a table outlining the estimated initial investment for both captive-venue and street locations. The costs associated with building, construction, and leasehold improvements are a significant part of the total initial investment. These costs can vary widely based on factors such as local labor costs, the condition of the building, and the extent of improvements required.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these costs and obtain detailed estimates from contractors and suppliers during their due diligence. Dq Treat must approve the leasehold improvements before construction, including graphics and signage for the storefront. Franchisees should also factor in potential additional costs due to delays, complications, or changes required to comply with federal, state, or local regulations.
