KNOW WHERE

Real Estate
D'Angelo's real estate department can help you find the location that offers your sandwich franchise the best possibility of success. You are responsible for finding your location and our real estate department will help you find an experienced, professional realtor. Once you locate a potential site, using our site selection criteria,  we will visit the site, examine the trading area and provide a site assessment. After site approval, we will assist you with understanding the terms for your lease or property purchase. We offer guidance based on our extensive experience in negotiations but it is your responsibility to negotiate the final terms. Your attorney should review your lease or purchase agreement before you sign it.

Construction
Our Construction Department will provide a floor plan as well as equipment specifications for a standard D'Angelo restaurant and your architect will adapt our plan to fit your site. After our Construction and Operations Departments approve the plans, your architect will be responsible for obtaining bids and monitoring construction along with our Construction Department.
