    The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Traditional Store ranges from $321,700 to $500,900. This includes the $42,000 that must be paid to the franchisor or an affiliate. The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Non-Traditional Store ranges from $194,200 to $386,100. This includes the $27,000 that must be paid to the franchisor or an affiliate. The total investment necessary to begin operation of a RED MANGO�"HUMBLE DONUT CO. Co-Branded Traditional Store ranges from $443,700 to $570,400. This includes the $42,000 that must be paid to the franchisor or an affiliate. The total investment necessary to begin operation of a RED MANGO Store Co-Branded with a Third Party Concept ranges from $117,700 to $259,100. This includes the $20,000 to $27,000 that must be paid to the franchisor or an affiliate. If you are acquiring development rights under the standard store development program, the franchisor requires a commitment to develop at least two Stores. At the time you sign the Store Development Agreement, you will pay the franchisor a development fee equal to the initial franchise fees due for the Stores you commit to develop. For example, if you commit to develop two RED MANGO Stores (assuming that neither the military veteran’s program nor the qualified existing franchisee discount applies), the minimum development fee will be $30,000 + $20,000 = $50,000. If both of your stores are RED MANGO Non-Traditional Stores (assuming that the military veteran’s program discount does not apply), then the minimum development fee will be $15,000 + $15,000 = $30,000.
