Estimated Initial Out-of-Pocket Costs to Operate an SRV store

Below we've listed the typical expenses related to opening and operating a single store. The range of expenses may vary depending on the type of store and projected sales. For example, the setup labor, opening till, first 30 days of payroll and utilities for a kiosk store may be less than for an inline store.

Please keep in mind that some, though not all of these expenses, will be reimbursed by SRV LLC. In addition, a portion of all the security deposit may be returned at the end of the season.
