There are many different ways to prepare crawfish, and the best way to serve them depends on the local tastes and preferences. LA Crawfish offers a unique and delicious Cajun style of cooking that is perfect for franchisees looking to tap into this growing market. Our recipes have been perfected over years of experience, and our team can help you get your store up and running quickly and easily.

We are a franchising company which promotes and sells franchises for the operation of LA Crawfish stores. We do not own or operate a store of the type being franchised, although we have two affiliates that do. We have not offered franchises in any other line of business, and we are not engaged in any business other than selling franchises for LA Crawfish stores. We have offered franchises since September 9, 2013.

The total investment necessary to begin operation of a single unit of LAC Franchising is from $261,000 to $406,000. This amount exceeds the Franchisor’s stockholder’s equity as of December 31, 2018, which is $396,789. This includes the initial franchise fee of $35,000 that must be paid to us as the franchisor. Please see Items 5 and 7 for additional details. We may offer to enter into an area development agreement to establish and operate a certain number of LA Crawfish Stores at specific locations pursuant to individual franchise agreements. The area development fee will be equal to $10,000 multiplied by the number of LA Crawfish Stores to be developed under the area development agreement. The area development fee will then be credited, in increments of $10,000, toward the franchise fee owed for each LA Crawfish Store developed. Your estimated initial investment will vary based on the number of stores to be developed.
