Applicants can find the Franchise Information Package, which includes our standard Franchise Questionnaire Form, on the Mr. Crust website, or can request that a hard copy be faxed or mailed to them. Applicants should return completed Questionnaires to the Mr. Crust head office.
Within 2 days of receiving and reviewing the Questionnaire, our Office Manager will contact you to continue the qualification process and explain the basic elements of Mr. Crust's franchise program. If both we and you wish to proceed, you will be invited to meet the Franchise Director & take a tour of the Mr. Crust Head Office.
If Mr. Crust wishes to proceed with your application, we will provide you with the Mr. Crust Franchise Disclosure Document, following which you will have at least 14 days to review it with your legal and business advisors.
Once at least 14 days have passed since the applicant received the Franchise Disclosure Document, the parties will sign the Mr. Crust Franchise Agreement, upon which the applicant will immediately pay Mr. Crust the Initial Franchise Fee of $20,000, plus applicable taxes.
After signing the Franchise Agreement, both parties will start looking for suitable sites for the franchised business. When a suitable site is found, Mr. Crust will negotiate a lease for the premises. Once an offer to lease has been accepted, the applicant will pay any lease deposit as required by the landlord and construction will begin on the premises by a general contractor approved by Mr. Crust.
You will participate in a 2 – 3 week training program approximately 1-2 weeks before the grand opening of the Mr. Crust location, either at your location, our head office and/or one of our corporate-owned stores in Ontario. We will assign a General Manager to help you set up your location for the grand opening and for the first 5 days of operation.
