The estimated initial investment for a turnkey L&L ranges from $210,190 - $839,860. It depends on the location, size, and existing facility.
A franchisee/operator is responsible to find and acquire a site. We will approve or disapprove the site after an analysis of the location, taking into consideration the proposed rental, population mixture, geographic area, including vehicular traffic, business hours, and any other facet of particular location that would affect the possibilities of success or failure. If you need help in finding a site, we may recommend a real estate broker in your area.
