How Much Does a Russo's Pizza Franchise Cost?

The current U.S. total initial investment range for a Russo's franchise is $439,350 to $1,490,000, which includes a $35,000 initial franchise fee. Published candidate qualifications are $250,000 in liquid capital and a $550,000 net worth. Financing qualification is subject to independent lender review.

Why the range is wide

Your total depends on the site, market, restaurant size, real estate and construction, equipment and the restaurant plan.

What the budget covers

  • Real estate buildout
  • Equipment and FF&E
  • Opening inventory
  • Training
  • Grand opening marketing
  • Working capital
  • Technology and opening systems
  • Vendor setup

Where to read the details

FDD Item 7 contains the complete investment table. See the Russo's franchise investment requirements and the Item 19 performance information for more.

How to compare the investment

Start with the complete Item 7 table rather than comparing franchise fees alone. Review the estimated uses of funds, the assumptions behind each range, and the amount of working capital included. Then discuss the proposed market and restaurant plan with Russo's Franchise Development and independent financial and legal advisers.

Candidates can also review the training and franchise support, explore pizza franchise markets, and request current disclosure documents through the franchise inquiry form.
