Repeat Customers
Roughly half of mature-store revenue comes from people buying a second time. Getting the first bouquet right is the whole game.
The Numbers
Investment & Returns
Everything it costs and everything the model can return — set out in your market's currency, with the caveats attached.
The figures on this page are illustrative models, not a promise or projection of what your store will earn. Individual results depend on your market, site, format, costs and how you run the business. Nothing here forms part of a franchise agreement. Ask us for the current financial disclosure document before making any decision.
Initial Investment
What you should budget to get the doors open, from signing through to your first month of trading.

When Does a Store Break Even?
A Latona store typically reaches monthly break-even once revenue covers rent, staff, stock and the 5 % royalty — in our model between month 6 and month 10, driven mainly by site quality and how much of the first peak season you capture. Payback of the full initial investment is a separate, longer milestone shown above.

What Actually Moves Profitability
Six levers separate a store at the bottom of its range from one at the top.
Corporate & Events
Weekly office accounts and event contracts smooth out the quiet weeks and carry a materially better margin than walk-in.
Peak Seasons
Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and the December run can account for a fifth of annual sales. Preparation decides how much you capture.
Online Orders
The platform brings you orders you didn't have to find. Stores that keep their listings current see the difference within a quarter.
Subscriptions
Recurring weekly and fortnightly deliveries turn unpredictable retail into a predictable base you can staff and buy against.
Supplier Pricing
Buying through our grower network is where a meaningful part of the gross margin comes from — and it's available from day one.
