What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to the 2024 Extreme Art Studio Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee is paid to the franchisor, Extreme Art Studio. The initial franchise fee for a single Extreme Art Studio Business is $45,000.

Prospective franchisees should note that this fee is non-refundable under any circumstances once paid to Extreme Art Studio or its affiliates. This is a standard practice in franchising, as the fee covers the franchisor's initial costs in evaluating the franchisee and setting them up in the system.

For franchisees considering a multi-unit purchase, the initial franchise fee structure changes. A Standard 2 Franchise, allowing the franchisee to open up to two Extreme Art Studio Businesses, has an initial franchise fee of $80,000. A Standard 3 Franchise, allowing the franchisee to open up to three Extreme Art Studio Businesses, has an initial franchise fee of $110,000. These multi-unit options can reduce the per-unit franchise fee, but require a larger upfront investment.
