Start-up Costs

Start the 39er Store - Affordable Franchising

The estimated initial investment for establishing the 39er store ranges from $149,000.00 to $260,000.00. Most of our franchisees, however will invest $160,000.00 to $170,000.00 to open stores that are between 3,000 and 4,000 square feet. But don't think you need all this in cash! If you have just $40,000-$50,000, good credit and $70,000-$100,000 in collateral, we can assist you in attempting to secure a loan through the Small Business Administration or your local lending institution.
