Investment Requirements

Sonny’s success continues because of the commitment and enthusiasm of our franchisees.  It is for this reason that Sonny's expects the franchise applicant to be actively involved and closely supervise the operations of the restaurants.  Each applicant must meet the following requirements before consideration will be given to their request:

  • $600,000 in liquid assets  and the ability to borrow approximately $1,780,000 per location.
  • Experience as a multi-unit restaurant operator.
  • Knowledge of the market area to be developed. 
  • The commitment and business competence to develop an area based upon a development schedule.

There are, of course, other requirements for any applicant to meet including, but not limited to, approval by Sonny's.  Sonny's may refuse to grant a franchise to any persons in its absolute discretion.
