In the world of franchising, few opportunities shine as brightly as Golden Chick’s QSR franchise. With our decades-long legacy of serving delicious, high-quality chicken and homestyle meals, we’ve become one of the most beloved franchises across the US.
As we call on potential investors seeking a lucrative venture with a proven track record, it’s important to understand the costs associated with owning a Golden Chick restaurant and why our franchise opportunity might be the golden opportunity you’ve been waiting for!
The Golden Appeal of Our QSR Franchise
Our success story is rooted in an unyielding dedication to flavor, quality, and customer satisfaction. For over five decades, we have curated a menu catering to a diverse range of palates, with our signature mouth-watering fried chicken as the focal point.
Our offerings span from chicken tenders to golden fried catfish and an array of delectable side dishes, fostering a steadfast and loyal customer base that continuously seeks the unique and irresistible flavors that define our brand.
Our Fried Chicken Franchise Cost
Embarking on a Golden Chick franchise journey has some associated costs, each contributing to your franchise’s establishment and ongoing operation. While the exact figures may vary based on factors such as building location and size, here’s a breakdown of the key investment areas:
-
- Initial Franchise Fee: To secure your stake in the Golden Chick brand, you’ll need to pay a one-time $30,000 franchise fee which grants you the rights to use the Golden Chick name, trademarks, and business model.
- Royalty Fee: As a franchisee, you’ll be required to pay a 4% royalty fee (typically calculated as a percentage of your gross sales). This fee contributes to the ongoing support and resources provided by the franchisor, helping you stay aligned with the brand’s standards and benefit from continuous improvements.
- Advertising Fee: Our franchisees contribute 3% of their gross revenue. The advertising fee is vital to building brand awareness and attracting guests to your franchise and goes toward regional and national marketing efforts that will benefit your franchise.
- Total Investment: Our franchisees choose from three unique concepts that allow them to develop and open a restaurant that best suits the needs of their community and their budget. The costs range from $993,750 to $1,852,800, depending on the chosen model.
Our Three Different Franchise Models
Once you’ve paid your initial franchise fee for our chicken franchise, we are here to guide you through the process of launching your new restaurant, tailored to one of the following three distinct concepts:
- Conversions: This format transforms an existing building into a freestanding Golden Chick franchise, complete with a convenient drive-thru. As construction costs are significantly reduced compared to other location concepts, your initial financial outlay will range from $450,000 to $650,000. Opting for this model is especially advantageous if you possess a property that aligns well with the vision of a Golden Chick restaurant.
- End Cap Locations: Much like the freestanding conversion, end cap locations boast a streamlined construction process and are often integrated into larger retail complexes such as malls or shopping centers. These compact yet impactful spaces command an investment range of $405,000 to $650,000.
- New Freestanding Locations: A new freestanding location will be crafted to our precise specifications and engineered for enduring longevity. Strategically situated within bustling retail corridors alongside prominent traffic generators like major grocery stores and shopping centers, these easily accessible restaurants provide ample parking and a contemporary appeal. Given the novelty and superior design, this concept reflects the upper echelon of our chicken restaurant franchise cost, necessitating an investment between $450,000 to $600,000 for 1,500 square foot restaurant or $615,600 to $820,800 for 2,052 square foot restaurant.
Each option presents distinct advantages, allowing you to tailor your QSR Franchise investment to your circumstances and vision for a successful Golden Chick franchise.
Investing in a Golden Chick franchise isn’t just about joining a brand; it’s about becoming a part of a legacy built on flavor, quality, and community.
