A row marked “Not published” means the figure was not on the page we read — not that there is no such fee. Local area marketing is a further 1% of gross sales on the same page.
What the figures include
The page labels one number a “projected build cost” and does not say what it contains, whether working capital or the franchise fee is counted in it, or whether it applies to a retrofit as well as a new build. It prints the capital and build-cost figures as two numbers side by side with no separator, which we read as a range. The page also gives no total investment and no net worth requirement. A resale’s asking price is set by whoever advertises it, and the projected build cost is the franchisor’s figure for building a location, not a guide to what a trading unit should cost. An asking price is what the advertiser wrote, not a valuation.
Royalty and advertising
The page states three percentages of gross sales: a royalty of 6%, a National Ad Fund of 2% and local area marketing of 1%. Gross sales is the franchisor’s term, and the page does not define it; ask for the definition in the franchise agreement. In Ontario, British Columbia and Manitoba, where disclosure applies, the franchisor must deliver a disclosure document at least 14 days before the earlier of your signing the franchise agreement or any other agreement relating to the franchise and your paying the franchisor or its associate any consideration relating to the franchise, subject to the exceptions in each Act. Ask for the document before relying on any figure here. See what disclosure a resale buyer gets.
Financing a Freshii purchase
The Freshii page names no lender and no programme. Can a franchise purchase be financed? covers routes such as the Canada Small Business Financing Program, BDC, a conventional lender and a vendor take-back.

About the Canadian Franchise Association listing
CFA’s directory has a Freshii listing but shows no member-since year, and that is not proof of non-membership. This page quotes the franchisor and takes nothing else from the directory, because directory figures can differ from a franchisor’s own page.
