What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Red Wagon Club's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for leasehold improvements ranges from $5,000 to $20,000. These costs are to be paid as incurred to outside suppliers as agreed. Leasehold improvement costs do not include extensive exterior renovations, as Red Wagon Club expects franchisees to operate from an Affiliate Law Firm Business office.
However, if the Affiliate Law Firm Business's office already meets Red Wagon Club's System Standards, a new franchisee may not need to incur these leasehold improvement expenditures. These improvements may include building walls, installing doors, building wall dividers, installing flooring, and building counters, if required.
Prospective franchisees should evaluate the condition of their Affiliate Law Firm Business's office and its compliance with Red Wagon Club's standards to accurately estimate potential leasehold improvement costs. It is important to discuss these requirements with Red Wagon Club to understand the specific standards and potential exceptions.
