neighbourhoods, parks, schools, etc. However, our mini concept is intended for high-traffic commercial streets and shopping malls.

The initial cost of the franchise depends on the store concept chosen. It ranges between $25,000 and $50,000 for an initial term

of 10 years, depending on the store concept, the market and the expected revenue from that market.
