For over 80 years, Country Kitchen has been a place where guests feel like they re coming home. The food is always fresh, the smiles stretch a country mile and breakfast can be any time of the day! Light and fluffy pancakes, skillets and omelettes packed with fresh ingredients, thick and juicy burgers, savory sandwiches, hearty dinners, and homemade desserts can be enjoyed at one of our many locations throughout the country!The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Country Kitchen ranges from $575,000 to $1,685,000 for a standard Country Kitchen and $425,000 to 895,000 for a limited service café style Country Kitchen , exclusive of the cost of real estate. These totals include $40,000 that must be paid to the franchisor. The amount paid to the franchisor will increase if you also sign an Area Development Agreement because that agreement requires that in addition to payment of the $40,000 initial franchise fee for the first Country Kitchen you also are required to pay us a deposit of $20,000 for each additional Country Kitchen to be opened under the Area Development Agreement.
