You want to find a franchise that fits you the best and will pay off the most in the long run. There are a variety of factors that go into the cost of a franchise and what you, the franchisee, get in return for the money, time, and effort you put into opening and operating your franchise locations.

Size Isn’t Everything
Money isn’t the only consideration when it comes to MOD Pizza’s franchise cost — or any franchise’s cost. A large franchise with thousands of franchise locations may be good for brand recognition, but it also means there are fewer unoccupied markets available. For a smaller franchise like ours, finding room to grow is much easier, with many more untapped markets hungry for something new on the menu.
Speaking of menus, having a varied menu helps attract a larger customer base, with more offerings appealing to more preferences and tastes. At Antioch Pizza, we offer not only pizza with a variety of toppings and crusts, but also a range of appetizers, sandwiches, pasta, salads, wings, and sweets.
We Train & Support Our Franchisees
Whether you’re looking at MOD Pizza’s franchise cost or another franchise, you should also consider what you get for your fees. Franchisor services are one of the most important reasons to pay franchising fees, royalty fees, and so forth.
For example, we provide our franchisees with site evaluation assistance when choosing where to open your location, as well as operational guidelines. You’ll also have comprehensive franchisee training to make sure you’re ready to open your location, as well as on-site training to help you ease into your role as a franchisee. We also provide you with advisory assistance with various operational tasks, including equipment selection, supply chain management, and marketing.
When considering the cost of a franchise, it’s not just about how much time, money, and effort you’ll invest, but also what you’ll get in return.
