What that buys you
The $50,000 initial fee covers your licence to operate under the Priceline Pharmacy system, initial training and brand onboarding. The bulk of the investment — $250,000–$700,000 — is the physical site build. The term is 5 years, with a 5-year renewal option. Ongoing, you pay a 4.0% royalty and a 2.0% marketing levy on gross sales.

Cost questions
What is the cheapest way into a Priceline Pharmacy franchise?
The lowest entry point is the bottom of the establishment range, $500,000 all-in. A resale of an existing site can sometimes reduce fit-out cost versus a greenfield build, but pricing depends on the site — compare both before committing.
Is a Priceline Pharmacy resale cheaper than a new site?
Not always. A resale removes some fit-out and ramp-up cost but adds goodwill in the sale price. New sites carry the full $250,000–$700,000 fit-out but start with no goodwill premium.
What hidden costs should I budget for?
Beyond the initial fee and fit-out, budget roughly $150,000 working capital for wages, stock and rent before the site is cash-flow positive. The 2.0% marketing levy and 4.0% royalty are ongoing, not one-off.
Do I get a refund during cooling-off?
Under the Franchising Code 2025 you have a 14-day cooling-off period after signing or making a non-refundable payment. If you exercise it, the franchisor must repay amounts paid, less reasonable expenses — this is a statutory right, not a franchisor concession.
