How much is the franchise fee for a Johnny’s Pizza House franchise?

$25,000 for each location.

Does Johnny’s Pizza House offer multi-unit development opportunities?

Yes. Johnny’s Pizza House is actively seeking franchisees who will build multiple restaurant locations over time. To secure the rights to open multiple units in a specific trade area, you must pay an area development fee equal to $10,000 multiplied by the number of restaurants to be developed. This $10,000 deposit is then credited toward the franchise fee for each restaurant developed. For example, if you purchased the right to develop three units in a specific trade area, you would be required to pay $30,000 ($10,000 x 3) as the deposit on three franchised restaurants, plus $15,000 as the balance of the franchise fee for the first unit, for a total of $45,000. You would be obligated to pay the balance on each franchise fee, or $15,000, for the second and third restaurant locations when leases for those locations are executed.
