The Spice & Tea Exchange Franchise Model Overview
The Spice & Tea Exchange stores are 1,200 to 1,800 square foot retail shops selling spices, herbs, custom spice blends and rubs, loose teas, olive oils, salts, sugars, honeys and kitchen accessories, typically in a leased storefront in a retail complex or shopping district. A franchisor affiliate supplies inventory and the store dress-out. A large share of the mid-six-figure investment goes to the franchisor and its affiliate as a mandatory Establishment Package covering opening inventory, fixtures, POS and training, with the rest in build-out. Stores must be managed by a trained owner and staffed with trained employees, and owners and spouses personally guarantee the agreement. The system has grown slowly and steadily to just under 100 units, almost all franchised, with a handful of transfers each year. Item 19 reports average franchised store sales, and buyers of an existing store pay a transferee training fee and must run a grand opening campaign.
