Score breakdown · what drove the 49 / 100 verdict
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — franchisor may face operational or financial viability issues
- 02MINOROnly 8 units system-wide with unknown/likely stagnant growth trajectory raises scalability concerns
- 03MEDNo Item 19 (Financial Performance Representations) disclosed — cannot verify if $376K avg net income is achievable
- 04MEDHigh initial investment ($325K-$646K) relative to small unit count suggests limited franchisor experience or profitability pressure
- 05MINOR6% royalty on $1.1M revenue generates only ~$66K annually per unit to franchisor — insufficient to support franchise operations at scale

What do Cascadia Pizza Co. franchise owners earn?
Cascadia Pizza Co. 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.

The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets.

FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
