TYPE OF BUSINESS: Ranked in Entrepreneur
Magazine’s 2010 Franchise 500, The Grout
Doctor ® is the most experienced, respected and
recognized brand in the business. The Grout
Doctor ® renews existing grout, tile and natural
stone to its original beauty! Ceramic tile sales
have grown 43.7 percent in the past five years,
and the market has more than tripled in the past
20 years*. This indicates a huge demand for the
aftermarket care of tile grout. As the industry
leader since 1992, The Grout Doctor ® is ideally
positioned to harness this demand. *Source: Tile
Council of North America.
HISTORY: 62 franchised units; in business since
1992; franchising since 2001. For many years
there has been a demand for someone to do grout
repair and minor tile repairs. The Grout Doctor ®
was founded to fill that niche in the market. In
1992-93, franchises were sold in California and
Arizona. The Grout Doctor ® then continued
expanding through area developers offering an
independent contractor program. Grout Doctor
Global Franchise Corp. was subsequently formed
in 2001 and promptly began offering franchises
throughout The United States.
CASH INVESTMENT: $20,405-$39,915 start-up
cash; $20,405-$39,915 total investment required.
TRAINING/SUPPORT: The Grout Doctor ®
provides you with strength from the very start.
Our comprehensive start up package includes: 80
hours of one-on-one hands-on training; all equip-
ment and tools of the trade needed; thorough
media analysis and marketing materials; personal-
ized advertising plan and media package;
exclusive products and supplies; extensive
training manual; impressive logo wear.
QUALIFICATIONS: No Experience Needed.
Grout Doctors come from a variety of different
backgrounds, but what if you’ve never owned a
business before? The Grout Doctor ® will guide
and equip you with everything you need to own
and operate your own business. The Grout
Doctor ® opportunity is a fit for you too, regardless
of your background. The ideal Grout Doctor
franchisee is any man, woman, couple, family or
retiree who desires financial independence.

TYPE OF BUSINESS: Culver’s is famous for
their cooked to order ButterBurgers and premium
frozen custard. A quick service restaurant serving
a great variety of sandwiches, salads, dinners,
frozen custard desserts, beverages and other menu
items.
HISTORY: 413 franchised units; 9 company-
owned units; in business since 1984; franchising
since 1987. Even on that first day, July 18, 1984,
Culver’s commitment to excellence was already
in place. Using only the freshest ingredients and a
philosophy of cooking your meal after you order,
the Culver family made sure everyone got their
food hot, fresh, and exactly the way they wanted
it. Culver’s combined bright smiles, clean restau-
rants, and warm hospitality with tasty food and a
friendly atmosphere to set a new standard in
quick-service dining for which Culver’s is now
famous.
CASH INVESTMENT: $400,000-$750,000 start-
up cash; $600,000-$3,000,000 total investment
required. You will need a minimum of $400,000
to $750,000 in liquid assets to qualify for a
Culver’s franchise. One of the qualities that
makes Culver’s unique is that many of our restau-
rants are partnerships.
TRAINING/SUPPORT: Culver’s offers its
franchisees one of the most extensive training
courses in the restaurant industry, a 16-week
program that includes both classroom and in-
restaurant training. Once a Culver’s restaurant
opens, franchisees receive continued support from
and interaction with Culver Franchising System,
Inc. in the form of operation updates and training
from franchise business partners, quarterly
meetings, manager workshops and Culver’s
Annual Reunion.
QUALIFICATIONS: Franchisees owning and
operating their restaurants in a full-time capacity
is our recipe for making sure guests receive the
personal attention they deserve. In addition, the
owner/operator must maintain at least 50%
ownership in the business entity or a 25 % owner-
ship in the business and real estate. That’s
because we believe the same owner/operator
philosophy that made the original Culver’s such a
success extends to each and every franchise.
