What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Extreme Art Studio Franchise Disclosure Document, the payments for initial inventory and supplies are made to Extreme Art Studio and approved suppliers. The estimated cost for initial inventory and supplies ranges from $4,500 to $5,500.
Prospective franchisees should note that they are required to have opening inventory and supplies before they open their Extreme Art Studio business. A portion of these supplies, specifically branded opening supplies and inventory, must be purchased directly from Extreme Art Studio. The remaining inventory and supplies can be purchased from approved suppliers, or in accordance with the standards and specifications set by Extreme Art Studio.
It is important for potential franchisees to understand the specific requirements and approved vendors for these supplies to manage their initial investment effectively. Franchisees should confirm a comprehensive list of approved suppliers during their due diligence. This will ensure compliance with Extreme Art Studio's standards and potentially allow for some cost comparison shopping among the approved vendors.
