* Equipment Programs available that provide for the use of dipping cabinets for stores that meet certain site characterisitics (based on volume). ** Items that may affect leasehold improvements include, but are not limited to, restroom, electrical, A/C, seating, and drain requirements. Other ites to take into consideration are the relative size of your space, the extent of the improvements you choose and assistance from Landlord. There are NO fees, either up-front or on-going, paid to The Ice Cream Club®, Inc. The only money paid to The Ice Cream Club®, Inc. is for initial inventory. The remaining expenses are paid directly to equipment vendors, contractors, etc. If you already have an existing ice cream store, the cost to convert to The Ice Cream Club®Inc. is minimal, with the only changes being cosmetic in nature. The Ice Cream Club®Inc provides Menu Inserts at no charge. The above expenses are estimates only. The Ice Cream Club®Inc makes no representation as to the actual costs. NOTE: In addition to the amounts listed, you should establish adequate reserves, not less than $50,000. There may be other costs in conjunction with the opening of your store. This is only a guide. |
