FAQs
How long does the franchisee application process take?
Once we receive your completed application, we’ll review the information and contact you by phone, typically within 24 hours. Once started, the franchise approval and discovery process can normally take approximately four to eight weeks. Culturally, it is essential to ensure you are the right fit for us, and that Honey Dew is the right fit for you. Financial requirements are also vital, you must be able to demonstrate sufficient net worth and the capital to fund your business objectives.
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) provides you with the range of costs and expenses that you can plan to incur when developing a Honey Dew Shop. These are estimates based upon the actual experience of ourselves and our franchisees but can vary by area. If you would like to receive a copy of our Franchise Disclosure Document, and begin our application process please contact us at (800) 946-6393
