Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Papa Murphy's provides a comprehensive training program that includes several stages to prepare franchisees and their teams effectively. The training involves:
Papa Murphy's does not provide exclusive territory protection to its franchisees. The franchisor expressly reserves the right to establish company-owned or other franchised operations within any area, including near an existing franchisee's location.
This means that while a franchisee may operate in a specific location, they are not guaranteed exclusivity within that market. The franchise agreement also allows the franchisor to engage in competing activities within the territory of a franchisee.
This could include establishing new stores or offering services that directly or indirectly compete with the franchisee's business. As a result, franchisees need to evaluate their market potential carefully when considering the franchise opportunity.
