What to Consider Before

BUYING A FRANCHISE

Sadly, not every franchise opportunity is a good one. Like every other business agreement, with franchising, both sides need to make sure that it’s the right decision for them. Here at Your Pie Pizza, we only made our decision to franchise our business after already establishing a successful business model. That process has allowed us to succeed in opening over 70 new franchises so far. Whilst we’re very proud of what we offer to our franchisees and are sure it will be a great opportunity for many people, you should always do your own research and make sure that becoming a franchisee is the best decision for you.

Current & Future Costs

When considering any franchising opportunity, it’s vital that you consider all of the associated costs. Although it’s easy to focus on the initial setup costs, it’s just as important to consider future costs as well. They can be harder to predict and quantify, but it’s possible to gain an understanding of them by taking the opportunity to ask questions during the franchise discovery day and by speaking with other franchisees.

Brand Strategy

Be sure to research the brand and how it is perceived in its existing markets. Good reviews and a good reputation are very positive indicators, but a poor reputation can be a significant red flag. Remember that the branding will play a huge part in determining people’s first impressions of your restaurant, so choosing the right one can help you get off to the best start. It’s also worth considering why you’re loyal to your own favorite brands and using what you love about them to make sure that the brand you choose lines up with your own personal values.

Brand's Legal & Financial History

You should ensure that the brand acts transparently and complies with its legal and financial obligations. This can be verified by checking public records, as well as searching news coverage of the brand for anything which may act as a red flag. The company should also be willing to provide you with copies of their financial statements. If you don’t have experience reading and analyzing financial statements, you may wish to discuss them with an expert.

Marketing & Operational Support

When you open a franchise, you aren’t just paying for the brand name. Any franchise opportunity should offer you support from those with expertise in how both the business model and day-to-day operations work, as well as with your marketing strategy. When considering starting a franchise, be sure to ask about the training and support you’ll receive in the run-up to opening day as well as after. You should feel confident that you’ll be sufficiently supported at every point of the journey and know exactly what assistance you’ll be given.

Current Franchise Markets

There are few people as well-prepared to answer your questions on the franchising experience with a specific brand as their existing franchisees. Whichever brand you’re considering for your franchise, they should be willing to connect you with existing franchisees so that you can hear about their experiences directly. You’ll want to hear how they found the process, the challenges they faced, and of course the successes they experienced.

We chose Your Pie because of the family aspect, the product and the community. Your Pie already aligned with what my wife and I believed. They produce a superior product and value the community. They really care about giving. It means a lot to us to support the community while they support us.

If you’ve dreamed of starting your own restaurant, it’s definitely worthwhile considering our pizza franchises for sale here in Arkansas.

Opting to open a franchised restaurant allows you to skip over many of the challenges you’d face if you were to launch a new concept of your own, meaning that you can focus more of your attention on supporting your team and delivering the best food and experience for your customers. It also provides you with the opportunity to work with an experienced leadership team who will be there to help you every step of the way.

On top of this, it eliminates one of the most difficult problems to deal with when opening a new restaurant, a lack of brand recognition. Rather than struggling to build up your reputation, you can get the strength of an established brand like Your Pie Pizza on your side from day one.

We’re always seeking new and experienced business partners, so if this sounds like you and you share our passion for pizza, don’t hesitate to contact us to request more information. Once you do, you can apply to become a franchisee, attend our discovery days and be well on your way to starting a new and successful business.

After all this is done, you get to enjoy the knowledge that as well as reaching your business dreams, you’re bringing something great to your local community. Our existing franchisees host a wide range of exciting events in their restaurants whilst also helping local charities, schools, and sporting events. We’d love it if you could continue that tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions About

Arkansas Franchise Opportunities

  1. How much support will I receive?


    Our team exists to support you. When you sign your franchise agreement, you get so much more than a restaurant—you get a franchise family, and that’s exactly how you’ll be treated. Even after your store is open, we continue to provide marketing resources, operational guidance and more to help you achieve success. Plus, each store has its own Field Support Manager who serves as your dedicated, day-to-day problem solver. Learn more.
  2. How long does it take?


    As with any restaurant franchise, there are a variety of factors that can affect an opening timeline, including site selection, build-out, permitting, staffing and more. With that in mind, most stores average around nine months between signing the agreement and opening their doors. Looking to move a bit faster? We might have an existing location available for purchase in your area. Fill out our franchising form to learn more!
  3. How much does it cost?


    The total cost per unit varies by size and location, but we estimate start-up costs to be between $364,750 to $610,000. Financing can be secured through third-party lending sources. You can find a full investment breakdown here, and we’re always happy to answer any specific questions you may have.
  4. How much control will I have?


    For a franchise brand, it’s important to maintain consistency across locations to ensure that every guest enjoys the same high-quality experience, regardless of where they visit. Consistency also helps to support brand recognition, which benefits the entire franchise system. Each Your Pie restaurant will feature the same general layout, color schemes, equipment and menu; however, our team works closely with you to localize your store as much as possible. We work to strike a perfect balance between an established, national brand and a local favorite. This goes for outreach, too. As a core value at Your Pie, our franchisees share a passion for community involvement—but they have the freedom to decide exactly what that involvement looks like in their individual market.
  5. How much money can I make?


    Franchisees are provided with benefits associated with the overarching brand, which can include the brand’s marketing strategies and research on successful business procedures. At Your Pie, franchisees pay a 5% royalty fee in exchange for Your Pie’s knowledge and licensing and a 1% contribution to the brand’s advertising fund to support marketing efforts. When evaluating franchise opportunities, royalty fees are a great indication of how much of the profits a franchisee has to give up, and how much they can expect to keep.
  6. How do you find the right location?


    With more than 70 stores across 16 states, we have an established presence but plenty of room to grow. When it comes to selecting a location, Your Pie has pre-developed methods to help determine where our brand will be most successful. We use these tools and processes as a means of protecting your franchise investment and ensuring that your location will support a thriving business. Check out our available markets map, and fill out our franchise form to get in touch about a specific market.
