The cost of opening a scoop shop, like the cost of opening anything, can vary dramatically depending on where and when and exactly what you have decided to open. Did you find a perfect location in a historical district? Is the building you love in disrepair, or is it new construction? Is it in an urban market, or a more suburban area? Does your site require lots of seating? All of these things, and many more, impact startup costs.

For companies considering franchising, the decision to franchise can be a daunting one. We often liken this decision to choosing a mode of transportation. When choosing a vehicle to get from one place to the next, we first consider how far we need to go, how fast we have to get there and what obstacles are in our way. The closer we are to our goal, the more choices we have for transportation.
If your growth goal is just down the block, you could drive your car, ride a bicycle or walk. But if you're trying to get to the moon, only a rocket ship will do.
But once the decision to franchise is made, the new franchisor faces some basic "design" considerations. As most franchisors soon find out, franchising itself comes in many flavors. Franchisors can expand aggressively with more risk and more expense-or they can expand more conservatively and with less risk and less expense. Put simply, the question you need to address is, "Should you build a Corvette or a Volvo?"
