We prioritise transparency and realistic financial expectations

From his many years as a F&B franchisee, 12th Street Burgers founder Adam Khan has extensive first-hand experience of how some brands promote misleading numbers of the actual investment required to be a success.

That’s not how we operate.

We are committed to providing you with clear, honest, and realistic financial information to help you make informed decisions.

Initial investment

Our model is based on low capital expenditure and a realistic ROI.

The initial investment required to open a 12th Street Burgers franchise is approximately £100,000.

We have established excellent relationships with banks and lenders who are willing to loan up to 50% of the total investment, subject to status. This can significantly ease the initial investment burden, making it more accessible for aspiring franchisees.

This investment typically covers securing a 1,000-1,200 sq ft shell unit and all necessary services to get your diner up and running:

Diner location

Fit-out
