1.  Initial Franchise Fee:  $30,000

  • You must pay to the franchisor an initial franchise fee of $30,000 for a single Wings Over Restaurant to be operated under an individual Franchise Agreement. The initial franchise fee is fully earned and non-refundable when paid.

2.  Real Estate Lease Deposits:  $1,500 to $8,000

  • Unless otherwise approved, the Premises for the Franchised Business must be a minimum of 1,500 square feet and will likely be located in a shopping center or on its own as a freestanding unit.

  • Wings Over expects that you will lease the Premises, and it has provided an estimated cost to sign the lease, which includes 1 month’s rent plus 1 month’s rent as security deposit. Wings Over has not provided an estimate of costs incurred for purchasing the Premises.

3.  Leasehold Improvements:  $25,000 to $330,000

  • The Premises must have a dedicated dining zone consisting of at least 30% of the square footage, and must include fiberglass reinforced panels in the kitchen area.
