On pure entry capital, Lenskart is 1.4× cheaper than Titan Eye Plus — ₹25 L vs ₹35 L. That gap compounds over a 5-year horizon because working capital and rent deposit scale with format size.
One-time franchise fees are worth noting: Titan Eye Plus charges ₹5 L upfront on top of the setup capex. This is a non-refundable sunk cost before revenue begins — bake it into your at-risk capital calculation.
Titan Eye Plus has 1.5× more outlets than Lenskart (3377 vs 2200) — more brand recognition and supplier scale, but also denser intra-brand competition in saturated markets.

Bigger networks mean more brand recognition and supplier scale; smaller ones mean less intra-brand competition in your territory.

Multi-unit ownership is common in Indian franchising and several Eyewear brands actively encourage it through discounted second/third-unit fees. Check for "master franchise" or "multi-unit development" terms in the contract — these usually require a minimum 3–5 unit commitment within a defined city/region over 24–36 months.
Beyond the advertised capex, factor in: refundable security deposit (₹1–5L), rent deposit (1–6 months of rent), working capital for inventory and salaries (typically ₹5–20L for first 3 months), signage and interior fit-out (often 25–40% of total setup), and ongoing royalty or supply-chain margins. FRANticc separates "at-risk capital" from "refundable capital" on every brand page so you see the real exposure.
