FAQs

Big Frog is the only franchise of its kind in America. In our niche (retail Direct-to-Garment, known as DTG) we are the only chain or franchise. We appeal to a newly created marketplace (1-100 garments). We are the most fun business one can imagine. We have a strong history of success and wonderful validation from our franchise owners. Minimal employees and hours. High margins. Low capital investment. New technology. Green process. No receivables. We offer a high quality of life business and we emphasize giving back to the community. B-to-B as well as B-to-C. Low overhead and operating costs.

Total investment varies, but typically you can expect between $230K to $350K. This figure includes the Franchise fee and working capital. We would love to discuss this with you further! Shoot us an email and we can break it down for you. Plus, a breakdown of the investment is provided in the Franchise Disclosure Document.

While Big Frog Franchisees face competition, we have several unique factors that provide healthy separation for the customers to choose us over any other provider. T-shirt makers are a highly-fragmented business. 90% of the DTG machines in the industry aren’t used regularly and are only a supplemental feature lying dormant most of the time in backrooms. Big Frog’s DTG printers are powerhouses, printing at a very high capacity day-in and day-out. Large screen printers cannot service customers looking for small orders and no set-up fees. They also do not have the welcoming environment we provide to customers as they are typically more industrial in nature. When comparing Big Frog to local Mom and Pop shops or people working out of their garages or basements, Big Frog far exceeds their capabilities with customer service, pricing, and value. Online competitors do exist, but through the strong community ties you will build – our customers bring us their business for the Big Frog Experience. They have the trust that their products will be of a high quality because they personally chose them in the store and the confidence that we will print them exactly as designed at the local level.
