Our story begins in 1987 with a single outlet in Jacksonville, Florida. Like most great success stories, we saw a consumer need and capitalized on it. That need was for high-quality, popular foods prepared fresh and fast in areas of high consumer trafficResearch and a trip out to eat proves that the hamburger is one of the most popular food items in the entire world and has been for the last 75 years. However, most burgers offered in fast-food environments lack that signature charbroiled taste you can only get from an open flame. That taste, that quality, is the cornerstone of the Flamers offering and what sets us apart.
Flamers' recipe for its tremendous success has been combining great food with an easy to use system and high-traffic customer locations. The final ingredient for continued success is YOU!

Franchise Requirements
Certainly previous restaurant or fast food experience is helpful, but Flamers intensive training will teach you everything you need to know to operate a successful Flamers franchise.
Financial Requirements
For anyone considering an individually-owned franchise, the initial investment is a primary concern. The following chart illustrates the estimated initial fees and cost paid by the franchisee to open one Flamers franchise.
Franchise Fee: $30,000
TOTAL INITIAL INVESTMENT: $169,500 -$345,500
The above cost estimates pertain to new location build-outs. The cost of converting a pre-existing food service restaurant to a new Flamers location could be substantially lower.
