THE GREAT GREEK MEDITERRANEAN GRILL

Item 7 outlines a substantial upfront commitment from $526,670 to $1,188,420, covering build-out for these 1,500-2,500 sq ft spots in high-traffic areas, with a $39,500 franchise fee to start. Ongoing costs hit 6% royalties plus 3% brand fund, layered with fixed monthly fees of $1,130-$1,410 for EPOS, tech, and menu support—higher than some peers' pure percentage models but tied to operational efficiencies. Item 19 shines brightly: average gross sales of $1,562,385 and median $1,453,418 across reporting units signal strong top-line potential, especially for a young system, though profitability hinges on tight labor and food costs in the 30-35% range typical for fast casual.

System vitality screams opportunity with locations jumping 38% from 50 in 2023 to 69 in 2024, just 1 termination, 6 transfers, and 29 projected new units amid 8 corporate stores. SBA stats bolster confidence: 44 loans averaging $678,280 with an enviably low 2.3% default rate, far below food industry norms around 10-15%, indicating franchisees can secure funding and sustain. No major litigation flags, steady multi-unit development options—this positions Great Greek as a growth play for operators eyeing $1M+ revenue streams, but validate local market gaps against competitors like Cava or Zoe's.
