Company Information
6551 Carrollton AvenueIndianapolis, Indiana 46220
We were organized as a limited liability company in Indiana on January 17, 2008 to offer Hot Box Pizza franchises. Our principal business address is 6551 Carrollton Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana 46220. We do business under our corporate name and the name Hot Box Pizza. We have offered franchises since 2008. We franchise the right to operate a pizza store offering dine-in, take-out and delivery of specialty pizzas, customized pizzas, and breadstix and dipping sauces. Each pizza store will have a distinctive and youthful décor setting allowing customers a view of the outside, televisions hosting news and sports, music being played for the enjoyment of customers, or the kitchen where they can watch the cooks prepare their pizza. The franchise or franchised pizza store does business under the trade name and service mark Hot Box Pizza, and also uses our other related service marks, trademarks or logos (our 'Marks'). The franchised pizza store typically requires between 1,400 to 2,600 square feet and is usually located in a heavily populated thoroughfare near a city food district of a dense residential area. The franchise operates using our standards, methods, procedures and specifications, called our 'System.' We do not operate a business of the type being franchised. We have never offered franchises in any other line of business. We are not involved in any other business activities.

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $35,000 Maximum: $35,000
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: $222,725 Maximum: $394,725
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
