Score breakdown · what drove the 34 / 100 verdict
- 01MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosed in FDD Item 19 — unable to assess realistic ROI or profitability benchmarks
- 02MINORSmall franchisee base (20 units) limits statistical reliability and peer support network; 46.2% YoY growth is positive but from a tiny denominator
- 03MEDHigh initial investment range ($100K–$322K) combined with 7% royalty creates significant break-even pressure without disclosed earnings data
- 04MINORFranchise fee of $65,000 represents 64–65% of minimum investment; unusual capital structure suggests operational costs may be front-loaded
- 05MINOR10-year term is longer than industry average (5–7 years), creating extended commitment risk without performance guarantees

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a NEW CREATIONS franchise?
The total investment to open a NEW CREATIONS franchise ranges from $101K – $322K, with an initial franchise fee of $65K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do NEW CREATIONS franchise owners earn?
NEW CREATIONS 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 NEW CREATIONS 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 NEW CREATIONS FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is NEW CREATIONS's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for NEW CREATIONS (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 NEW CREATIONS franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, NEW CREATIONS has 20 total units in the United States, including 19 franchised units and 1 company-owned units. 7 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is NEW CREATIONS a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates NEW CREATIONS as a D-grade franchise with a verdict score of 34 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.
