Franchise fees and ongoing costs

Franchise fee

$7,500 to $30,000 · Extracted Item 5 scalar range, not a universal minimum or maximum; formats, eligibility, discounts and waivers require original-filing review.

Royalty

Weekly/monthly: greater of an escalating flat minimum (rising over the 5-year term, e.g. $800 in Year 1 up to $1,200 in Year 5 for Mall Units/Full Store per the fee table) or a percentage of Gross Sales. The amount column shows 35% (Mall Units) / 45% (Full Store) of Gross Sales, but the Remarks column separately describes the trued-up rate as '35% of Gross Sales obligation for carts and kiosks, and 4% for Full Stores.' The source document text is internally inconsistent (likely an OCR-dropped decimal point, e.g. 3.5%/4%), so the exact percentage could not be reliably determined.

Marketing contribution

Not captured

Technology fee

$100/month 'Software Fee' payable to franchisor (Item 6 fee table); Item 5 separately references a $70/month software license fee payable to affiliate Global Cellular for the POS system (unclear if these are the same or separate fees in the source text).

Other fees

Minimum Monthly Inventory purchase of $750/month (payable to affiliate Global Cellular); Cooperative Advertising contribution up to 2% of Gross Sales if a cooperative is established (none currently exist); Advertising Fund Fee stated as 'up to 31% of Gross Sales' (likely an OCR artifact, exact rate unclear).

Working capital (FDD Item 7)

Estimated funds needed to cover the first three months of operation, including payroll costs (excluding any wage/salary paid to the owner), other miscellaneous expenses, and working capital; exact dollar ranges for RMU and Interactive Kiosk are given in Item 7 but were garbled/unreliable in this packet.

Working capital is drawn from Item 7. The Investment source below locates the investment section, not an independently verified working-capital scalar.

Numerator / denominator

2 / 11

Formula

CHGOFF / (PIF + CHGOFF + EXEMPT) × 100

This is a historical loan-level share, not a franchise failure probability or location survival rate. Loan size is not total investment. Other loan statuses are excluded from the seasoned denominator. Activity combines 7(a) and 504 approvals, excluding canceled and not-funded records; this is not a rolling five-year count. FY2024-25 franchise tags are sparse after directory suspension; fewer tagged loans do not establish brand decline. Recent charge-off cohorts are immature.
