Home › Ideas

The table on this page lists 47 brands whose Philippine Franchise Association directory listings give a starting figure from ₱500,000 to just under ₱1 million. Food carts and kiosks such as Potato Corner are the largest group, but this is also where water refilling stations and generic pharmacies such as TGP start. Those two types carry their own permit rules, whatever brand you choose.[22,33]

Water refilling franchises and the tests that come with them

Three water refilling brands start in this band: Living Water Station ("Php 500,000"), Crystal Clear ("Php 550,000-900,000"), Aquabest ("Php 600K-800K").[4,8,17]

A franchised station follows the same rules as an independent one: the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water 2017, and in towns like Morong, Rizal, monthly bacteriological tests from a DOH-accredited laboratory for the sanitary permit. Ask the brand whether its package covers lab testing or leaves it to you. The water refilling kit lists all six extra items.[48,47]

Pharmacy franchises need a pharmacist, not just a fee

Three pharmacy brands start here: Gamot Publiko ("Php 627,000"), TGP (The Generics Pharmacy) ("Php 700K-1.5M"), Farmacia Ni Dok ("Php 800K-1.5M").[26,33,35]

Under RA 10918, an outlet selling prescription medicines must be under the direct and immediate control of a registered, licensed pharmacist. Outlets selling only household remedies and over-the-counter drugs still need a pharmacist's supervision. Ask the brand who provides the pharmacist. See the pharmacy kit.[49]

One brand, several prices

Famous Belgian Waffles lists a price per format: "SMALL FIT IN - 580K CART - 780K KIOSK - 880K COUNTER - 980K INLINE - 680K". The lowest figure is the small fit-in; the inline store costs more. Baga Burger lists "500K-1M".[13,1]

The directory pages show no date for these figures.[46 sources]
