Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. (BCCI)

[BobSinCA]

Regarding minimum to open a franchise, $25K is what a franchisee pays to BCCI.

But there is also $100K 'cost to open a shop' and 30% of annual revenues (so, .3*144 = $43K) in working capital -- both per page 4 of the 'independent' research report published in January -- plus of course whatever it costs to gain permits, form a business, etc.

That works out to about $200K per location.
