If you still have questions after reading about the process of becoming a Franchisee, and how we support Franchisees, we’ve got answers.
We are actively seeking Franchisee candidates in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, Missouri and Wyoming only.
We grant individual as well as area development franchises for new or existing locations.
It is the Franchisee’s responsibility, but Runza® National will assist you with a site analysis and final approval.
A few of our key requirements:
We provide each store opening with one District Supervisor for one week, at no cost to the Franchisee. Additional ongoing assistance is available at the current rate.
Runza® does not make sales claims for new restaurants. Our Franchise Disclosure Document discusses sales.
The initial term is 10 years. There is one additional 10-year renewal option at the then-current agreement terms. You must give at least six months advance notice of renewal and pay 50% of the then-current initial frachisee fee.
We strongly recommend – but don’t require – that Franchisees be involved in the day-to-day operations of the store. If you’d prefer to hire a General Manager, you may, provided they are assigned 10% ownership and have a minimum of two years prior experience in restaurant operation.
In-store decor, proprietary software and proprietary mixes necessary for production of the Runza® Sandwich are all required purchases.
With the exception of certain maximum price promotions, you are responsible for setting menu prices. Runza® National provides you with a suggested price formula as a guideline.
Other business interests are allowed provided you are not engaging in a business specializing in quick service hamburgers without prior written consent.
