Bottom line

  • Total investment $70K – $130K including a $10K franchise fee.
  • Average unit revenue of $302K/year (median $253K).
  • Insufficient data to generate a risk assessment.
  • No protected territory and the franchisor reserves the right to compete in your area. Clarify territorial boundaries before signing.
