Frequently Asked Questions

People interested in our franchise model often ask us good questions like these:

Is a Nardelli’s Grinder Shoppe franchise available in my geographic area?
We have a planned strategy of expansion that begins in the cities and counties closest to our current Connecticut locations in the Greater Waterbury and Naugatuck areas. We plan to expand in a radius from these locations. When you complete the Request for Information questionnaire, please make sure to let us know your Preferred Geographic Area.

Do you help with financing?
We do not provide financing. However, the total investment required for this franchise opportunity is low relative to similar investments. Also, there are many sources of financing for small businesses, such as the Small Business Administration (SBA), Angel Financing through friends and family, second mortgage programs, and personal savings.

How much cash would I need to get started?
We have a reasonable cost of entry. The total investment ranges from under $100,000 to $300,000, which includes the initial franchise fee. It is a good idea to have additional funds for personal and living expenses for several months if you do not have another source of revenue during the initial months of the business.
