Introduction
When considering a franchise, one of the first questions entrepreneurs ask is: “How much will it cost?” At Costa Vida, we believe in full transparency. Let’s break down the investment requirements, fees, and why joining Costa Vida is a smart financial decision.
Initial Franchise Fee
Every new Costa Vida location begins with a franchise fee of $35,000. This fee grants you the rights to use the Costa Vida brand, proven business model, and access to our comprehensive training and support systems.
Total Investment Range
Depending on the size, location, and build-out of your restaurant, the total investment typically ranges from $659,500 to $1,025,000. This includes construction, equipment, signage, initial inventory, and working capital.
Ongoing Royalties and Fees
To maintain brand standards and ensure system-wide success, franchise owners contribute to:
- Royalty Fee: 6% of gross sales
- Marketing Fund Contribution: 2% of gross sales
These funds fuel national advertising, marketing campaigns, and brand-building efforts that benefit every franchisee.
