LeKream
Bottom line
- Total investment $200K – $465K including a $30K franchise fee, 3.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 75/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Overview
About
LeKream franchisees operate ice cream/frozen dessert retail locations, likely handling daily sales, inventory management, customer service, and product preparation. Without disclosed unit data, the exact operational model, production requirements, staffing needs, and revenue drivers remain unclear.

Risk & Legal
LeKream presents HIGH RISK due to unproven system viability (1 unit only), lack of financial transparency, going concern status, and inability to validate unit economics or franchisee support infrastructure.
Score breakdown · what drove the 75 / 100 rating
- 01MINOROnly 1 existing unit with unknown growth trajectory — effectively unproven system
- 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) prevents ROI validation
- 03HIGHGoing Concern flag indicates franchisor financial/operational distress
- 04MINORWide investment range ($199.5K–$464.5K) suggests unclear cost structure or inconsistent unit economics
- 05MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk from other franchisees
- 06MINOR5-year term is shorter than industry standard, increasing renewal uncertainty
- 07MED3% royalty seems low but meaningless without disclosed revenue baselines
- 08MINORSingle unit makes franchisee validation impossible — no peer network to reference
