Bottom line

  • Total investment $162K – $270K including a $30K franchise fee, 6.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 72/100.
  • No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal

72
Risk · 0-100
CAUTION72 / 100

Dirt Juicery presents high risk due to minimal system size (2 units), undisclosed financials, going concern issues, and unproven unit economics despite moderate investment requirements.

Score breakdown · what drove the 72 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINOROnly 2 existing units indicates extremely early-stage/stalled franchise system with no demonstrated scalability
  2. 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — suggests franchisor financial instability or viability questions
  3. 03MINORNo Item 19 financial performance data (average revenue/net income) prevents ROI validation and suggests underperformance
  4. 04MEDHigh initial investment ($161,700–$270,100) combined with 6% royalty and no disclosed unit economics creates payback uncertainty
  5. 05MINORMinimal franchise fee ($29,900) relative to total investment suggests potential revenue model dependency on royalties rather than sustainable franchisee profitability
  6. 06MINORUnknown growth trajectory with only 2 units raises questions about franchisor's ability to support and scale the system
