Own A
Franchise

No experience is required although related experience is useful. Milky Lane will provide comprehensive training at our own stores. The passion and effort of the Franchisee is the most important element of success.

The investment can vary depending on many factors. Location of the store, landlord’s site contributions, size of the premises, level and type of equipment can all vary. The minimum requirement for investment is dependent on the site in Australia. There is also an initial franchise fee of $70,000 (+GST). Please note that these costs exclude the real estate cost. A royalty fee of 6.5% of gross sales is paid every month and each outlet contributes a maximum of 2% of sales towards online advertising.

Earnings from a store can vary widely and Milky Lane cannot estimate the results of any particular Franchisee. Success is based on a number of factors; the most important of which is the excellence in operational standards upheld by the Franchisee. There are business risks involved in starting any new business and earnings are not predictable.
