Bottom line
- Total investment $83K – $139K including a $35K franchise fee.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 65/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal
Declining unit base combined with undisclosed financial performance and opaque royalty structure presents moderate-to-high risk; prospective franchisee cannot validate ROI assumptions.
