What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Flowerama's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee for a Fruit Bouquets Franchise at one Flowerama Center is $7,500. This fee grants the franchisee the right to sell fruit bouquets and related products within an existing Flowerama Center. The FDD specifies that a Fruit Bouquets Business may only be added into a Flowerama Center.
The Fruit Bouquets Initial Franchise Fee is payable in full when the franchisee signs the Fruit Bouquets Addendum to the Franchise Agreement. This addendum is identified as Exhibit A-4 in the FDD. The fee is non-refundable under any circumstances.
However, Flowerama offers a potential waiver of this fee. If a prospective franchisee signs both the Franchise Agreement and the Fruit Bouquets Addendum on or before October 1, 2025, the entire Fruit Bouquets Initial Franchise Fee will be waived. This provides a significant incentive for franchisees to act quickly and finalize their agreements before the specified date.
Additionally, Flowerama may offer financing to cover build-out costs and signage related to the Fruit Bouquets Business. The FDD states that franchisees may be able to finance up to an additional $30,000 for these purposes, subject to meeting certain criteria and at Flowerama's sole discretion.
