†The initial investment range is $300,000-$720,500. The range is based on estimated costs for End-Cap or In-Line Tropical Smoothie Cafe Restaurants, which include those located in or at “strip style” retail shopping centers but does not include drive-thru Restaurants. For fiscal year 2023, these End-Cap and In-Line Tropical Smoothie Cafe Restaurants typically ranged in size from 1,200 to 1,900 square feet. If your Franchised Business includes a drive-thru, the additional expense (including the cost of leasehold improvement, restaurant fixtures and equipment, and other costs) would be approximately $35,000 to $55,000. See Franchise Disclosure Document for additional information regarding investment costs. The average investment does not reflect tenant improvement allowance. For 2023, the average tenant improvement allowance was $43,500.
