FranchiseVerdict summary · 2026
A Epoxy Depot franchise requires a total initial investment of $300K – $518K, including a $40K franchise fee and an ongoing 30.0% royalty[2]. The 2025 FDD on file does not yield a unit-revenue figure we can publish. FranchiseVerdict grade: C (Average), an editorial assessment, not investment advice. Run a live ROI scan →
Limited operating history: franchising since 2025. A system this young has fewer than three years of Item 20 outlet history and rarely enough SBA loans for a charge-off rate, so its grade rests on less evidence than an established system's. Read its Item 20 tables and talk to its first franchisees before relying on the grade. Other new franchisors

No Item 19 revenue figure for Epoxy Depot is on file. The return models need a revenue figure to start from, and the operating costs that turn gross sales into a profit are in no FDD. Enter your own and the calculator runs on your assumptions — nothing here is modelled until you do.

An FDD discloses gross sales, not profit. We hold no sourced figure for annual revenue, COGS, labour, rent / occupancy and other operating costs, and will not substitute an assumed one. Enter your own and the model runs on your assumptions.

vs Home Services medians
How Epoxy Depot Compares
Category median of published Home Services brands that report the figure; the middle half spans the 25th to 75th percentile and n counts the brands behind it. Medians are used because a few very large systems pull an average far from the typical brand. Revenue is disclosed gross sales, not profit.

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?
Item 19 of the Epoxy Depot FDD discloses outlet figures from $944K to $2.0M but no single average across all outlets. These are gross sales figures, not profit; the Revenue section shows what the filing reports and on what basis. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns Epoxy Depot?
Epoxy Depot is franchised by Epoxy Depot Franchise Inc.. Its parent company is PA Epoxy Inc.. Source: FDD Item 1, 2025 filing.
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 12 total units in the United States, including 4 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 44 out of 100 (higher is better). The grade is a deterministic score built from six weighted dimensions — financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency — then calibrated against SBA loan charge-off rates and FDD age. Transparency is one of the six, so a filing that discloses less scores lower on that dimension than one that discloses more. 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.
