Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Purchase Green franchise?
The total investment to open a Purchase Green franchise ranges from $120K – $589K, with an initial franchise fee of $25K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Purchase Green franchise owners earn?
Purchase Green 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 Purchase Green 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 Purchase Green FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Purchase Green's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Purchase Green (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 Purchase Green franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, Purchase Green has 47 total units in the United States, including 25 franchised units and 22 company-owned units. 4 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is Purchase Green a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Purchase Green as a B-grade franchise with a verdict score of 50 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.
