EXHIBIT A
LICENSOR'S DEVELOPMENT & FEE STRATEGY
The Licensor's current strategy to develop the System throughout the contiguous
00 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx xx Xxxxxxx is to establish Exclusive Territory
Licenses in markets that will support a minimum of five (5) stores. The
Territory Licensee must open and operate these stores in the prescribed period
of time.
The Territory License Fee for the territory development rights is determined by
the number of stores agreed upon for a territory multiplied by $20,000.00 per
store with a minimum of five (5) stores. This exclusive Territory License Fee,
in the amount of $100,000.00, is in addition to the franchise fee of each store
site. The Territory License Fee shall be fully earned by Licensor in
consideration of its execution of this agreement. The minimum population of each
territory is 250,000 people.
The Territory Licensee agrees to open a minimum of FIVE (5) STORES within the
specified territory boundaries. The first store must be open within the first
six (6) months from date of the signing of the Territory License and open a
store within every six (6) months thereafter until minimum total is completed in
order to retain the exclusive rights to the territory.
Each store must have a separate Store Franchise Agreement for that particular
site. The franchise fee for each store is $25,000.00 payable immediately upon
Licensor approving each site and the Store Franchise Agreement signed. Each
Store Franchisee is required to pay a royalty of 4% of gross sales and
contribute to a national advertising fund in the amount of 1% of gross sales.
Terms and conditions are described within the standard Store Franchise
Agreement. Licensor may change the standard Store Franchise Agreement from time
to time and the Territory Licensee agrees to execute said standard form.
The Licensor is searching for Territory Licensees who have a proven track record
in multi-unit restaurant and/or retail franchise ownership. Minimum net worth
requirements are $500,000.00.
The Licensor may change the Development Strategy and related fees from time to
time at the sole discretion of the Licensor.
