When you package a homestyle meal that everyone loves with amazing Southern hospitality, a half-century of tradition and a lively American diner that serves any meal of the day at any time of the day, you have Huddle House - America’s iconicbreakfast franchise. At Huddle House, customers are always welcome, and they’re usually greeted by name. Decatur, GA, wasjust a little farm town back in 1964 when founder John Sparks first came up with the idea for Huddle House. He saw a group of boys after football practice, huddling up in his restaurant, helmets and footballs still in hand. Sparks envisioned a place where the community could gather, or huddle up, any time.The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Huddle House franchise is $510,435 to $1,379,575 for a New Development Unit when leasing the land and building and purchasing the equipment and signs. This includes $83,490 to $113,490 that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliates. If you sign a development agreement for the opportunity to develop multiple Huddle House franchises (the franchisor does not specify a minimum number to be eligible for a development agreement), you will pay a development fee for the rights to those development opportunities. The development fee will vary depending on the number of Huddle House Restaurants you are committed to develop, and is calculated as the total of the $35,000 for your first franchise and $17,500 for each additional franchise to be developed (the development fee is separate from the initial franchise fee). The total investment necessary under a Market Development Agreement (based on a commitment of two to three Huddle House Restaurants) ranges from $55,000 to $72,500. This includes $52,500 to $70,000 that must be paid to the franchisor.
