Note 1 Equipment, Furniture and Fixtures: This amount includes estimated costs associated with a computer, printer, computer software, furniture, furnishings, telephones, other office equipment and fixtures, stationery and other paper, and other similar office equipment and supplies.
Note 2 Real Estate Lease: If you do not own or purchase a location for your SDCO Franchised Restaurant, you must lease the appropriate commercial space. Typical locations are strip centers or other retail and commercial areas near office and/or residential areas. We anticipate that you will need total retail/store space of between 1250 and 1,500 square feet. The monthly rental for leased premises varies depending upon various factors including location, the type of structure, and the then-current local real estate market conditions. You should obtain estimates of rental costs by contacting local commercial realtors before you sign the Franchise Agreement. The leasehold deposit reflected in the chart estimates a one-month security deposit. Franchisor estimates that rentals will range between $5,000 per month (i.e., a rental rate of $48/square-foot/year for 1250 square feet of retail space) and $12,000 per month (i.e., a rental rate of $96/square-foot/year for 1500 square feet of retail space). In addition, some landlords may require additional security deposits or rental payments upon execution of a lease. The estimated security deposit is based upon one rent.
Note 3 Leasehold Improvements Store Construction / Build-Out: Once you purchase or rent the real estate and/or building for your Franchised Restaurant, you will need to construct the building and/or modify the building to comply with the physical standards for a SDCO Franchised Restaurant. The amount you are required to spend on this construction and/or build- out will vary depending on various factors including, the initial condition/state of your owned/leased structure/premises and then-current market rates for construction labor and materials. You should obtain your own estimates of such cost by contacting local commercial realtors and general commercial contractors in your area before you sign the FranchiseAgreement. The figure in the chart reflects an estimate for build-out construction of between $150,000 (i.e., a build-out cost of $120/foot for 1250 square feet of retail space) and $300,000 (i.e., a build-out cost of $200/foot for 1500 square feet of retail space). As part of our standard obligations under the Franchise Agreement, we do not provide any assistance with or oversight of any contractor you may hire, including any general contractor you may engage for the build- out of your SDCO Franchised Restaurant.
