New Pure Green Miami Location in Sunset Harbour
We just signed a lease for a new corporately owned Pure Green location in Sunset Harbour, Miami Florida. The location is located at 1915 Purdy Avenue and is situated on a high traffic block surrounded by strong anchor tenants including Fly Wheel on one side of the store and Barry's Bootcamp just a few stores down. There are high-end residential buildings directly across the street as well as the Sunset Harbour Yacht Club.
This is a second generation location, it used to be a former gelato shop. As a result, all of the electric and plumbing is in place so this will be a fast build-out. We are projecting to open Pure Green Sunset Harbour in mid September, 2020.
Pure Green Sunset Harbour is a small store, only 550 square feet which is all we need. While we are still finalizing the design, here is a sneak peek of some of the design renderings:
Financing for Franchisees Secured
We secured a new finance partner for a variety of financing options for our franchisees. We partnered with Guidant Financial to be our preferred financing partner. While we have a minimum financial criteria for franchisees of a 300k net-worth and 100k in liquidity, we are accepting franchisee applications from franchisees that are approved for an SBA loan through Guidant Financial. Franchisees can secure an SBA Express loan for up to 150k in financing for a 10 year term with low interest rates.
Our process for potential franchisees starts with filling out an application with us at:
