The biggest difference is that at Peachwave, you will not be charged ongoing franchise fees or royalties. Our licensees keep 100% of their profits! But, our licensees still enjoy services that typical franchises offer such as exclusive proprietary products and recipes; branding and marketing support; store opening and ongoing technology, processes and systems training; and construction consultation.

At least $85,000 of liquid capital is generally required for a traditional storefront, and $45,000 of liquid capital is generally required for a mobile kitchen. However, final liquidity requirements are often determined by the need and ability to obtain bank financing and final store start up costs. When compared with typical franchises, our liquidity requirements are low because our store start-up costs are typically lower.

Estimated initial investment for a single traditional storefront Peachwave location ranges between $162,000 - $359,000. Several factors contribute to fluctuating startup costs and can include, but are not limited to factors related to landlord provided free-rent periods and/or tenant improvement credits, security deposits, local permits, local wages, deviations from brand guidelines, leased space size, configuration and condition, local material and labor rates, etc. And because we do not charge royalties or ongoing fees, your return on investment can be MUCH quicker than our franchised competitors! The ROI of a Peachwave can range from 2-4.1 years, while our competitors can range from 3.7 years to a whopping 14.6 years!

The mobile kitchen purchase price can be as low as $78,900 + geographically dependent costs associated with state and local taxes, registration fees, regulatory fees, permits, delivery, etc. Additional startup costs that will vary per individual owner circumstances and needs will be those expenses related to towing vehicle, onboard generator option, and working capital. 

Peachwave is not a lender and therefore does not finance the development of traditional storefronts or mobile kitchens, rather licensees enjoy the flexibility to seek and source financing however they wish. Though, Peachwave does have a partnership with a nationally trusted leasing partner available to assist in the financing process. Terms will vary depending on your individual financial circumstances. 

Not at all! What you will need is to enjoy engaging and actively promoting in your community, making people smile, and a basic understanding of business.

More freedom! Our licensees enjoy the fact that they can select their own local contractors and professional services to work with while still receiving store design and layout support from our expert Peachwave team.

Generally speaking, a 1/2 ton or 1500 series pickup truck is typically adequate for transporting a Mobile Kitchen that does not have an onboard generator. Mobile Kitchens that do have an onboard generator typically require a 3/4 ton or 2500 series pickup truck due to added trailer tongue weight. Since each Mobile Kitchen is custom configured to comply with local heath regulations, exact weight will not be known until build completion. It is important to direct any questions related to towing capabilities of specific vehicles to an automotive dealership representative. 

Quite simply, you do! Sell delicious and healthier frozen treats when you want and just about anywhere you can think of. This is flexibility at its finest!
