Saladworks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BuildZoom, through its partnership with WOWorks<\/a>, worked closely with a Saladworks<\/a> franchisee in Overland Park, Kansas. The franchisee, a multi-unit entrepreneur, valued BuildZoom Premium for its ability to save him time across his businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We sourced three bids ranging from $275,000 to $505,000, with the wide spread caused by confusion over required equipment. To address this, we coordinated meetings with equipment vendors and the franchisor to align the bids for an apples-to-apples comparison. From there, we negotiated lower prices with two contractors, Katanic Built and Kazco Development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The franchisee ultimately signed with Kazco Development<\/a> for $338,000 \u2014 $15,000 below the adjusted bid after equipment costs were finalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
