Our unique business model

(1) The Initial Franchise Fee is $50,000 for your first, second and third Angry Crab Shacks. The Initial Franchise Fee for your fourth and each subsequent Angry Crab Shack is $40,000. The Initial Franchise Fee will be $40,000 beginning with your first Angry Crab Shack if you are a veteran of the United States military (having been honorably discharged from the U.S. armed forces) or a current or former firefighter or police officer. The Initial Franchise Fee is non-refundable. The Initial Franchise Fee includes the training expenses for three (3) individuals. There is a charge of $1,500 per additional person attending the Initial Training Program.

(2) You may execute a Development Agreement at the same time that you execute a Franchise Agreement. In the Development Agreement, Franchisee agrees to open and operate additional Angry Crab Shacks within the Development Area in compliance with the Development Schedule. The applicable Option Fee will be applied to the applicable Initial Franchise Fee, upon execution of a franchise agreement for your additional Angry Crab Shack. The Option Fee is non-refundable. If you and we agree to grant you franchise and development rights in excess of three (3) Angry Crab Shacks, the Option Fee may be greater than the estimated amount. If you are a veteran of the United State military (having been honorably discharged from the U.S. armed forces) or a current or former firefighter or police officer, the Option Fee may be lower.

(3) If you do not own a suitable location, you must lease or purchase the premises for your Angry Crab Shack. If you lease the premises, the property owner or sub-landlord will generally require a security deposit, the amount of which generally ranges from one month of monthly rent to six months of monthly rent. The amount of your security deposit will vary according to your area, the type of location (street location, enclosed mall, strip center, or free-standing building), and various other factors. A lease security deposit may be non-refundable and is paid directly to the property owner of the premises. In addition, in certain lease transactions, the property owner may require you, or if you are a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other legal entity, you and your owners, to personally guarantee the lease. If you decide to purchase land and construct your own building or buy an existing building, you can expect to add the cost of the real estate to the total investment indicated in this Item 7 of the Disclosure Document. Real estate costs vary considerably depending on fair market values in your area; size, condition, and location of the premises; and municipal requirements. Construction costs also vary considerably depending on fair market values in your area; size, condition, and location of the premises; labor costs (union versus non-union); and equipment requirements. The square footage generally needed to establish an Angry Crab Shack is between 5500 and 8,000 square feet. This breakdown includes approximately 3,000 square feet of dining space, 1,500-3,500 of kitchen / commissary space, and 1,000-1,500 of bar space. The probable locations for an Angry Crab Shack are a street location, enclosed mall, strip center, or free-standing building with dense residential and strong daytime working populations.
