Score breakdown · what drove the 63 / 100 rating
- 01MINORSystem contracted 16.7% YoY (10 units down from 12) — indicates shrinking franchise network and potential market saturation or unit failure
- 02MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosed in FDD — unable to validate ROI or profitability claims; prospective franchisees cannot assess break-even timeline
- 03MINORNo protected territory — franchisees face direct competition from other ChopValue franchisees and potential company-owned locations in same market
- 04MEDHigh initial investment ($462K-$587K) with unclear return metrics — royalty rate of 6% suggests thin margins if average unit volumes aren't disclosed
- 05MINOROnly 10 units remaining limits peer network and support ecosystem; difficulty finding experienced franchisees for honest feedback

Is ChopValue a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates ChopValue as a C-grade franchise with a risk score of 63 out of 100, 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.
