Additionally, follow-up and on-going assistance will be provided. Your training really never ends. It's all up to you.

Can I franchise more than one unit?

We welcome development of multiple units by those franchisees that demonstrate their ability to successfully operate a Sobik's Subs Shop and have the financial resources required for multiple operations. What is the term of the franchise agreement? The initial term is ten (10) years. The agreement is renewable, subject to your performance during the initial term. There is a $2,500.00 renewal fee.

Where do I obtain financing?
The most common source for financing is your local bank. Sobik’s International Franchising does not provide direct financing. We will provide you a list of potential lending and equipment leasing sources. The Company does provide for payment of the Franchise Fee in two installments. The initial payment of $2500.00 is due at the time of signing the Preliminary Agreement and the balance of $2500.00 for a Sobik’s Express or $10,000 for a Sobik’s Traditional Store can be paid when the Franchise Agreement is executed.

Do I have to be an "owner-operator"?
While the Company does not require that you personally operate your restaurant on a daily basis, experience has shown the best run; the owner actively manages most profitable restaurants. The owner of a single unit should be prepared to commit considerable personal time to onpremise management.
