Franchisee FAQ

The initial cost of buying the Franchise varies depending on the individual Franchise. If you are buying a new Franchise Territory, the Franchisee Fee is $10,000, plus your working capital to purchase initial stock, and setting up your cab chassis. Freezer Body rental costs are paid monthly at $300, and Van Electricity is also paid monthly at $125.

If you are in a Regional Area there is a depot security and temperature monitoring charge. This is dependent on how many Franchisees are in your depot and ranges from between $10 to $30 per month.
