Slow-growing micro-franchise with compliance history, undisclosed profitability, and mandatory minimums creating elevated investment risk in a stagnant system.
Score breakdown · what drove the 41 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo Item 19 (Average Unit Volume) disclosed — unable to assess true profitability or validate the $657,806 avg revenue claim
- 02MEDMinimal system growth (4.2% YoY) with only 26 units suggests weak brand momentum and limited proven scalability
- 03MINORMonthly royalty minimums ($1,000-$2,500/year 2+) create fixed cost burden regardless of sales performance, problematic for slow-ramp locations
- 04MINOR2011 Washington State Consent Order indicates historical compliance issues with franchise disclosure regulations
- 05MINORHigh franchise fee ($74,500) relative to small system size and slow growth creates significant sunk cost risk
- 06HIGHGoing Concern = False not explicitly stated as positive, creating ambiguity about franchisor financial health
- 07MINORAverage revenue of $657,806 on $182,350-$226,200 investment yields only 2.9-3.6x payback, marginal for franchise model
