Score breakdown · what drove the 41 / 100 verdict
- 01MINORNo Item 19 financial disclosure (average revenue and net income not provided) — impossible to validate ROI claims or profitability benchmarks
- 02HIGHGoing concern status is FALSE, suggesting potential financial instability or operational viability questions at corporate level
- 03MINOROnly 30 units system-wide with unknown growth trajectory — indicates either nascent brand or stagnation; insufficient scale data
- 04MINORWide investment range ($116K-$717.5K spread of 518%) suggests inconsistent unit economics or unclear cost structures
- 05MED6% royalty on undisclosed revenues creates earnings opacity — franchisees cannot benchmark performance against peers
- 06MEDNo litigation disclosed but combined with going concern flag raises questions about whether legal issues are being withheld

What do G.L.O.M. Global franchise owners earn?
G.L.O.M. Global 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 G.L.O.M. Global FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets.

Global FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is G.L.O.M. Global's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for G.L.O.M. Global (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 G.L.O.M. Global franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, G.L.O.M. Global has 30 total units in the United States, including 0 franchised units and 30 company-owned units.

FranchiseVerdict rates G.L.O.M. Global as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 41 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.
