- 02HIGHGoing Concern issue — franchisor may have financial instability despite growth metrics
- 03MINORRapid unit growth (75% YoY) with only 16 units — suggests early-stage system with unproven unit economics
- 04MINORHigh minimum royalty ($1,000/month = $12,000/year) creates cash flow pressure on underperforming locations
- 05MEDInvestment range $144,850–$242,100 is substantial with zero disclosed average revenue/income benchmarks

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Magikid franchise?
The total investment to open a Magikid franchise ranges from $145K – $242K, with an initial franchise fee of $55K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Magikid franchise owners earn?
Magikid 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 Magikid 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 Magikid FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Magikid's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Magikid (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 Magikid franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, Magikid has 15 total units in the United States, including 14 franchised units and 1 company-owned units. 8 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is Magikid a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Magikid as a B-grade franchise with a verdict score of 58 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.
