IT'S ALL ABOUT GREAT TASTE
Pizza is universally popular and is a $29 billion dollar a year industry in the United States. It’s quick, convenient, affordable, nutritious and, of course, delicious. It appeals to people of all ages and demographics. In an era of households where both parents work outside the home, of late hours and long commutes, of healthy, active lifestyles and of a universal demand for speed, quality, value and convenience, pizza provides a quick, no-hassle meal for family and friends.
Today, families enjoy pizza hundreds of times annually at lunch, dinner, before the game or after the show. Although the fall and winter seasons are traditionally the strongest for pizza consumption, demand is solid throughout the year. Pizza vendors have also sustained pizza's popularity year after year by modifying ingredients to suit changing consumer tastes.
With nearly 3 billion pizzas sold annually, customers perceive pizza to have the highest value for the dollar of all food choices, which makes pizza less vulnerable to recession. Gary Dunell, publisher of Pizza Today magazine says, "Pizza is virtually recession proof."

typical store will employ eight to twelve people at approximately minimum
wage. High school students and semi-retired people make excellent candidates.
A full-time manager is also required to handle the day-to-day operations.
Many franchisees choose to serve as manager. Most stores are open from 11:00am
to 9:00pm Sunday through Thursday, and until 10:00pm on Friday and Saturday.
You may choose to extend these hours depending on your location and your
customer base.

What
does it cost?
Depending on the leasehold improvements and signage of your unit, the
total start-up costs for a Figaro's store will average between $85,000
and $201,100 (U.S. currency). This cost includes an initial franchise
fee of $24,500 (U.S.) for your first franchise. The initial franchise
fee for additional units and multi-unit developments is reduced as described
in our disclosure document. These fees are subject to change based solely
on the discretion of Figaro's Pizza, Inc. The initial franchise agreement
is five years, with options to renew at no additional cost.
| Franchisees pay
a fee of 5% of gross sales, exclusive of sales taxes, on a weekly
basis. This fee permits you to use Figaro's name, trademarks, logos
and operating systems and provides access to new product and systems
development, purchasing power discounts and continuous and comprehensive
ongoing support. |
Local store advertising
is the responsibility of each franchisee and is mandatory under our franchise

equal to 3% of their gross sales from the preceding calendar month for
local advertising and promotion. Most franchisees spend more than this
in order to grow their business. Franchisees also must remit a weekly

of maintaining, administering, directing and preparing advertising materials
for the Figaro's chain. Figaro's Pizza, Inc. solely determines the use
of the advertising fund and fees.
