How much is a Hungry Howie’s franchise?
The cost of entry for a Hungry Howie’s location is significantly lower than many other QSR concepts. The franchisee or the business entity must have $220,000 in liquid capital, a net worth of $650,000 and the ability to obtain financing for up to $500,000. The total investment ranges from $358,903–$519,295 which covers build-out, equipment, and other fees. The franchise fee is $25,000 per location, with a 50% discount for qualified veterans.
If I can meet the financial requirements, what happens next?
After confirming the financial requirements can be met, the journey begins with an initial call to review qualifications, provide answers to your questions and discuss the next steps in the franchising process. This also includes completing and submitting the Hungry Howie’s application to franchise. Browse through our franchising website to learn more.
After the application has been completed and approved, you’ll move forward in the franchising process by reviewing and signing the FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document) followed by signing your franchise agreement. From here, the Hungry Howie’s development team will work with you on territory selection, training and onboarding, and all the steps necessary to get your store ready to open.
