  • What is the average investment for a Flip Flop Inflatables®?
The estimated initial investment to establish a Flip Flop Inflatables® ranges from $218,750 to $338,800 which includes a
franchise fee of $40,000, equipment, initial inventory, store build out, marketing materials, and the 1st 3 months operating
expenses. Total investment varies depending on geographic location, real estate, leases and tenant improvement. You will
need to secure adequate funding – in-house financing is currently not available.
  • Do I need previous retail experience to operate a Flip Flop Inflatables ® franchise?
Although retail experience is not necessary – a “retail” personality is. Heavy emphasis on customer service with a dynamic
outgoing personality. Previous business experience, people management skills, a strong work ethic and good
communication skills are a must.
  • How much are the continuing fees?
The continuing, or "royalty fee", is 6% of your gross sales and is paid monthly. This fee entitles you to use the Flip Flop
Inflatables® service mark, use of distinctive system, marketing assistance, ongoing business development, counseling and
other benefits that come with being a Flip Flop Inflatables® franchisee.
  • Will I have an exclusive territory?
Yes - Flip Flop Inflatables, Inc. does grant you an exclusive territory.
  • How much money can I make?
The Federal Trade Commission does not allow us to make any financial performance representations to prospective
franchisees that are not included in our Franchise Disclosure Document. Currently, we make no financial performance
representations. Your financial results depend on many factors, including how hard you work, how closely you follow the
Flip Flop Inflatables® system, your competition, etc. Flip Flop Inflatables, Inc. can’t reliably forecast or project future
performance, revenues or profits by any Flip Flop Inflatables® site. We suggest you contact current Flip Flop Inflatables®
owners to collect information on this subject, so that you can complete a more accurate business plan.
  • What about advertising?
The Flip Flop Inflatables® name and reputation is an important part of your business. You will spend a minimum of $5,000 on
grand-opening advertising during the first 2 months of operations. You will also spend at least 2% of your gross sales per
month on local advertising. In addition, if we should establish a National Marketing Fund, you will be expected to make
Marketing Fund contributions of up to 1% of your monthly gross sales.
  • How much training is provided in the Flip Flop Inflatables® system?
You will participate in an initial training course that will last approximately 2 weeks. The initial program will focus on all
aspects of the Flip Flop Inflatables® franchise system and is comprised of both classroom and on-the-job training. All
owners and operating managers are required to attend training. The cost of training is included in your franchise fee,
although travel, food, lodging, and the salaries of your employees that attend the training are the responsibility of the
franchisee.
  • What form of business start-up assistance and ongoing support will I receive?
Flip Flop Inflatables, Inc. can provide on site assistance 1 week prior to your grand opening. We will also periodically
schedule visits throughout the course of the franchise term, which are designed to provide operational assistance and
guidance in various aspects of your Flip Flop Inflatables® business. You will also receive a Flip Flop Inflatables® confidential
Operations Manual that contains specifications, standards, operating procedure and suggestions to aid you in the operation
of your Flip Flop Inflatables® business.
  • What is the term of the Flip Flop Inflatables® Franchise Agreement?
