1. What is the cost of opening an Amberdo Café?
The cost of opening an Amberdo Café depends on several factors, including the location, size, and interior design of the store. While each project is customized, the average investment typically ranges between $500,000 to $1,000,000 CAD, including equipment, furnishings, signage, initial inventory, and franchise fees.
2- Will Amberdo Café select the location and build the store for me?
We work closely with franchisees to assist in selecting a high-potential location that aligns with our brand values and aesthetics. While we do not directly purchase or lease properties, we provide professional guidance during the site selection, lease negotiations, and café layout process. Our design team also helps with the natural, tranquil interior design that defines the Amberdo experience.
3- What hours will the store be open?
Store hours may vary depending on location and local demand, but most Amberdo Café branches operate from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM daily. Franchisees may adjust opening hours to better serve their community, with prior approval from our operations team.
4- Must a franchisee have prior experience in food retailing?
Prior experience in food or hospitality is helpful but not required. We provide comprehensive training and support to ensure that passionate and committed individuals — even without industry experience — can successfully run their café.
5- Can an Amberdo Café franchisee own more than one location?
Yes. We encourage multi-unit ownership for qualified franchisees who demonstrate operational excellence and a commitment to growing the Amberdo brand. Expansion opportunities are available to existing partners who maintain high performance and customer satisfaction.
