What is the total investment?

Does WindMill offer a finance program?

No. However, previous franchisees have qualified for SBA loans.

What are the advertising fees?

The WindMill Franchise Company has a separate advertising division. This division is financed by contributions from all franchisees. The contribution is 4% on the first 500,000 of gross sales and 2% on all gross sales after that. This fee is due on a weekly basis.

What are the royalty fees?

The weekly continuing service and royalty fee to the individual franchisee is 5%, exclusive of sales taxes.

What is the term of the franchise agreement?

The basic term is 10 years. Franchisees in good standing are offered the opportunity to renew for another ten-year term at no additional cost.

How will I be trained?

The WindMill training program is designed to take you from the ground up. Each individual franchisee will receive a hand-tailored program based upon their prior knowledge. Training is conducted in a corporate-owned restaurant and a minimum of eighty hours is required.

How do I get started?
