Highlights of Yogurt Mountain’s Item 19 Financial Performance Representations (2012 FDD)

• The franchise is to develop, own, and operate a retail store featuring self service frozen yogurt and other related products and services under the trademark and name “Yogurt Mountain.”

• The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Yogurt Mountain Store ranges from $419,000 to $540,500. This sum includes the initial franchise fee of $30,000 payable to the franchisor or its affiliates.

• If you want development rights, you must pay a development fee equal to $5,000 for each Yogurt Mountain Store you agree to develop after the first one (for which you will immediately sign a Franchise Agreement and pay the full initial franchise fee). The franchisor will apply the development fee, in $5,000 increments, toward the initial franchise fee due as you sign Franchise Agreements (after the first one).
