Subway!

SUBWAY® restaurants
Franchise fee: $12,000
Start-up cost: $69,300 to $191,000
Basic royalty: 8%
Advertising royalty: 3.5%

Given the present state of the economy, I think a person who shops around without
a lot of demands for location can get that start-up cost way way down.

Find a business with coolers/freezer/ice/soda that failed and abandon their equipment.

Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
