White Hen Pantry vs Kangaroo Express Franchise Comparison

White Hen Pantry Inc. was founded in 1965 and began franchising that same year. The Elmhurst, Illinois-based company has more than 280 locations in the United States.

Kangaroo Express offers business operators and entrepreneurs the opportunity to work with a franchisor who not only helps grow new ventures, but offers the flexibility to tailor individual stores to the customers they serve. Whether establishing new locations or converting existing properties, we provide benefits to every type of franchisee.

The total investment necessary to begin operations of a Kangaroo Express convenience store franchise is from $616,500 to $1,912,000 for a newly constructed Kangaroo Express Store and $191,500 to $995,000 if you are converting an existing convenience store to a Kangaroo Express Store. This includes $5,000 to $12,500 that must be paid to the franchisor or their affiliates whether you open a newly constructed Kangaroo Express Store or convert an existing convenience store to a Kangaroo Express Store. If you purchase an existing company-operated Kangaroo Express Store from the franchisor, the amount you will pay to the franchisor is difficult to estimate based on real estate costs as well as the ancillary businesses usually associated with a convenience store and varies depending on the purchase price the franchisor negotiates.
