What is the minimum equipment purchase required when opening a Dryject franchise?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a new franchisee must purchase a Base Equipment Package. This package includes a minimum of three model 4820 DryJect® machines and certain spare parts. The cost for this Base Equipment Package is $166,500. This purchase is made either from Dryject or its affiliate. The FDD specifies that this payment is nonrefundable and uniform for all franchise owners.

This initial equipment purchase represents a significant upfront investment for a new Dryject franchisee. It is important to note that Dryject's officers have an ownership interest in their affiliate, DryJect, Inc., which is the supplier of the proprietary equipment. This arrangement means that Dryject benefits directly from the franchisee's equipment purchases.

Beyond the initial equipment package, the FDD indicates that approximately 55% of the franchisee's expenditures for leases and purchases in establishing the DryJect business will be for goods and services that must be purchased from Dryject, its affiliate, or a designated supplier, or in accordance with their standards and specifications. On an ongoing basis, approximately 23% of expenditures will be subject to these restrictions. This highlights the importance of understanding the full scope of required purchases and approved suppliers when evaluating the Dryject franchise opportunity.
