Other Fees Under the Franchise Agreement

  • Pandora franchisees do not pay an initial franchise fee or ongoing royalty fees. However, you must purchase your entire inventory of jewelry from the company. The initial inventory will cost between $350,000 and $550,000. In very limited situations, Pandora may finance the initial inventory up to 12 months (generally 30 to 90 days).
  • Upon termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement, the company has the option to buy from you, but are not contractually required to do so, all unsold inventory items at a price equal to the dollar amount paid by you to acquire such items. If the company elects not to purchase your unsold inventory upon termination or expiration of your franchise, it may permit you to sell such inventory to an existing Pandora franchisee.
  • Local Advertising Expenditures: 4% of Gross Sales annually, although Pandora may increase this fee to a maximum of 6% of Gross Sales on 90 days prior notice to you.
  • Marketing Fund Fee:  An amount not to exceed 3% of monthly Gross Sales.
