Bottom line
- COSTTotal investment $128K – $167K including a $59K franchise fee, 7.0% ongoing royalty.
- RETURNSNo franchised average is disclosed. The only franchised datum is a single outlet at $102,782 which the FDD notes 'was in default of its franchise agreement for majority of the 2024 calendar year' (printed p.49); the other 44 franchised locations opened during 2024 and were excluded. The figure previously shown was the total income of one affiliate-owned location, including $31,530 of tips.
- RISKVerdict B (Above average), verdict score 59/100 (higher is better).
- GROWTHNegative, pipeline stalled: 128 agreements signed but not yet open against 47 open outlets (Item 20).
- DATAItem 19 reports income statement rather than annual gross sales, so unit revenue is not directly comparable. Ask franchisees directly for full unit-level revenue.

How Pink’s Window Services Compares
Category median of published Cleaning & Maintenance brands that report the figure; the middle half spans the 25th to 75th percentile and n counts the brands behind it. Medians are used because a few very large systems pull an average far from the typical brand. Revenue is disclosed gross sales, not profit.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Pink’s Window Services franchise?
The total investment to open a Pink’s Window Services franchise ranges from $128K – $167K, with an initial franchise fee of $59K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Pink’s Window Services franchise owners earn?
Item 19 of the Pink’s Window Services FDD discloses outlet figures from $103K to $985K but no single average across all outlets. These are gross sales figures, not profit; the Revenue section shows what the filing reports and on what basis. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns Pink’s Window Services?
Pink’s Window Services is franchised by Pink's Franchising LLC. Its parent company is ResiBrands LLC. Source: FDD Item 1, 2025 filing.
What is Item 19 in the Pink’s Window Services 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 Pink’s Window Services FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Pink’s Window Services's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Pink’s Window Services (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 Pink’s Window Services franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, Pink’s Window Services has 47 total units in the United States, including 45 franchised units and 2 company-owned units. 44 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is Pink’s Window Services a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Pink’s Window Services as a B-grade franchise with a verdict score of 59 out of 100 (higher is better). The grade is a deterministic score built from six weighted dimensions — financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency — then calibrated against SBA loan charge-off rates and FDD age. Transparency is one of the six, so a filing that discloses less scores lower on that dimension than one that discloses more. 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.
