About Nathan's Famous
Franchising is a business concept that allows qualified investors to become part of an established, existing “system.” A good way to look at franchising is, you??re in business for yourself, but not by yourself. Strategically, this provides many benefits under a brand name that has consumer awareness and equity. Nathan??s has taken this basic premise and redefined it to exceed the most stringent business criteria of today??s investor.Nathan??s offers a wide range of restaurant designs and customized equipment, thereby offering business opportunities to qualified candidates regardless of space constraints or investment limitations.The estimated initial investment for a BMP Operation ranges from $43,000 to $86,300, including an initial license fee of $7,500.
