SIGN*A*RAMA® offers to the franchisee a proven concept based on business knowledge gained from over twenty years of franchising.
Our practical on-the-job training is designed to be thorough and easy to follow, to assure everyone is fully comfortable throughout the program. After the two weeks of classroom instruction, your training will then continue with one of our local field representatives. They will meet you at your location, help you set up all of the equipment and continue your hands-on training right there in the store.
Local Regional Offices provide continued guidance and support for all SIGN*A*RAMA® franchise owners. Training of your employees, whether it involves computer software orientation or instruction in the art of sales and marketing is something we provide at no extra cost to you.
Once everything is setup and we know you're comfortable, a marketing representative comes in and shows you how to market and promote your business. So, we not only tell you how it works, we actually go out with you and show you how it works. As you need help from there on, we stand ready to help you along your way.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
