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. If you
want to add an “Arthur Treacher’s” BMP Operation to your new or existing
food service establishment, the additional estimated initial investment
will be from $34,404 to $81,486, including an initial license fee of
$7,500.
