Started franchising in 2023. Newer systems carry more uncertainty but may offer better territories.
The system contracted 13% year-over-year. Investigate why units are closing.
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.
- Verdict F (Bottom Quintile) with a risk score of 93/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.
