Score breakdown · what drove the 73 / 100 verdict
- 01MINORExplosive 1500% YoY unit growth (130 units) is unsustainable and suggests either aggressive recruitment, acquisition of existing chains, or inflated reporting — requires verification of organic vs. acquired growth
- 02MEDNo Item 19 (Financial Performance Representations) disclosed despite $652k average net income claim — inability to verify actual franchisee profitability and potential selection bias in reported averages
- 03MINORDual royalty structure (7% or minimum fee) creates cash flow unpredictability; minimum fee amount not specified, creating hidden cost risk

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a 1-800-STRIPER franchise?
The total investment to open a 1-800-STRIPER franchise ranges from $250K – $322K, with an initial franchise fee of $50K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do 1-800-STRIPER franchise owners earn?
1-800-STRIPER does not disclose average franchise owner earnings in their FDD Item 19. Not all franchisors are required to make financial performance representations. We recommend asking existing franchisees directly about their financial experience.
What is Item 19 in the 1-800-STRIPER FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the 1-800-STRIPER FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is 1-800-STRIPER's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for 1-800-STRIPER (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
How many 1-800-STRIPER franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, 1-800-STRIPER has 130 total units in the United States, including 128 franchised units and 2 company-owned units. 120 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is 1-800-STRIPER a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates 1-800-STRIPER as a A-grade franchise with a verdict score of 73 out of 100 (higher is better), based on our analysis of investment costs, revenue data, SBA loan performance, and growth trends. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
