Detailed Information on Pearle Vision’s Initial Franchise Fee, Royalty Fee + 21 Other Fees (Items 5 and 6, 2021 FDD)

1.  Development Fee:  $10,000 for each Licensed EyeCare Center you intend to develop under the Limited Exclusive Development Agreement

  • If you enter into a Limited Exclusive Development Agreement, simultaneously with signing that Agreement, you must pay a Development Fee of $10,000 for each Licensed EyeCare Center you intend to develop under the Limited Exclusive Development Agreement; provided that, depending on the market that you will develop, Pearle Vision reserves the right to charge up to the entire amount of the Initial Franchise Fees for all of the Licensed EyeCare Centers you intend to develop under the Limited Exclusive Development Agreement.
  • The Development Fee is uniform for all developers who execute the Limited Exclusive Development Agreement, is fully earned when paid, and is nonrefundable.
  • If you enter into a Non-Exclusive Development Agreement, you will also pay the Development Fee, but you will pay a reduced Royalty.

2.  Initial License Fee:  $30,000 for New Licensed Owner; $20,000 for Existing Licensed Owner

America's Most Lucrative Franchises of the Year
  • When you sign the Location Addendum to License Agreement, you must pay a lump sum “Initial License Fee” for each EyeCare Center you License.

  • If you sign a Location Addendum to the License Agreement but you fail to submit the site materials or commence construction by the deadlines, Pearle Vision may, at its option, terminate the License Agreement. In that event, Pearle Vision will refund, without interest, the License Fee (less $5,000 for administrative and out-of-pocket expenses) and you must sign a general release in Pearle Vision’s favor.
