Bottom line
- COSTTotal investment $300K – $518K including a $40K franchise fee, 30.0% ongoing royalty.
- RETURNSItem 21 contains only an UNAUDITED opening balance sheet for Epoxy Depot Franchise Inc. as of 9/30/2025 (all line items $0.00; PA corporation formed Dec 23, 2024, began franchising Sep 30, 2025 - too new for audited statements), so no franchisor revenue/net worth figures are available. Item 19 avg/median/high/low are computed from the FY2024 Gross Sales of 6 company- and affiliate-owned locations (not franchisee-operated): $1,294,839; $943,942; $2,005,582; $996,610; $1,725,849; $1,149,831. These are annual whole-unit gross sales. The FDD does not disclose quartile cohort averages.
- RISKVerdict C (Average), verdict score 43/100 (higher is better).
- DATAItem 19 reports company owned income statement rather than annual gross sales, so unit revenue is not directly comparable. Ask franchisees directly for full unit-level revenue.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Epoxy Depot franchise?
The total investment to open a Epoxy Depot franchise ranges from $300K – $518K, with an initial franchise fee of $40K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Epoxy Depot franchise owners earn?
Epoxy Depot 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 Epoxy Depot 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 Epoxy Depot FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Epoxy Depot's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Epoxy Depot (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 Epoxy Depot franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, Epoxy Depot has 8 total units in the United States, including 0 franchised units and 8 company-owned units. 6 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is Epoxy Depot a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Epoxy Depot as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 43 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.
