What do Power Locker franchise owners earn?
Power Locker 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 Power Locker FDD?

FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the Power Locker FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Power Locker's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Power Locker (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 Power Locker franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, Power Locker has 64 total units in the United States, including 0 franchised units and 64 company-owned units. 23 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
