While investment typically ranges from a low of $138K to a high of $320K, through our second generation restaurant location strategy, we try to keep start up costs under $150,000 including working capital.

Stoner's Pizza Joint is committed to keeping the franchisees’ front end investment as low as possible to make it as easy and attractive as possible for franchisees to expand.

Just like franchisees want repeat customers, franchisors want repeat (as in multi-restaurant) franchisees. It’s in the franchisor’s and franchisees’ combined best interest to help talented franchisees develop large restaurant portfolios.

Stoner's Pizza Joint helps franchisees expand by lowering the cost of entry, thereby reducing capital constraints as a limiting factor.

What makes a good location?

Stoner’s Pizza Joint likes second generation restaurant locations so franchisees don’t have the expense of building bathrooms, upgrading electrical and HVAC, floor sinks, hoods, grease traps, and sprinkler systems.
 
This keeps the investment under $150K.
We look for about 1000-1500 sqft, with 15-20 feet of frontage.
  • Residential
  • Good parking
  • Easy in and out
  • 20K cars driving past each day
  • At least 30,000 people reside within the trade area.
