Big Whiskey's American Restaurant & Bar Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

Big Whiskey's is a restaurant that celebrates sports, not just a sports bar. We're a restaurant that celebrates our excellent bar products, not just a bar. We're many things to many people-maybe that's why we're one of the most popular hangouts in the area. Operating 5 locations in a market with just under 300,000 population our AUV is $2.18m with an EBITDAR of 20% so we believe a BW in larger markets will far exceed those numbers. Our first franchise will open early March in Bentonville, AR. Our Kansas City franchise will open in mid-May. We just purchased two shuttered Ruby Tuesday sites, one which will be completely retrofitted to our new design concept for our first free-standing store to open early summer. Our 4-Opportunities Method provides franchisees multiple times to build their bottom line-daypart mix is 28% lunch, 17.5% happy hour, 39% dinner and 15.5% late night.

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
