What one unit earns on your invested capital
Model A · Single-Unit Return
Computes unlevered return on invested capital (ROIC) for a single franchise unit, read against the 30–60% reference band · Yale SOM, Post-MBA Path Exhibit 2 (2023). Below that band a passive index fund likely outperforms; above it the franchisor has pricing power you're subsidizing.
Note: Item 19 revenue is what the franchisor discloses, and it is the top line only — gross sales are not profit. No FDD discloses the operating costs that turn one into the other, so those fields start empty and nothing is modelled until you supply them from your own lease quote, labor market and build-out budget.

What 25 units return when you use SBA financing
Model B · Return on Equity: Debt-Financed Acquisition
Models a 25-unit portfolio acquisition financed with an SBA 7(a) loan. Shows equity IRR (your return on cash invested), DSCR (how safely the cash flow covers debt service), and the capital stack (SBA + seller + equity breakdown).
This is the “search fund” or “entrepreneurship through acquisition” scenario: you buy an existing multi-unit operator, use leverage to amplify returns, and either operate or hire management. The 25-unit size is the typical minimum for an SBA-backed franchise portfolio acquisition to pencil as a full-time income.
What “return on equity” means here: if you put in $500K of your own cash and the business generates enough EBITDA to pay down debt and grow, your equity IRR is the annual return on that $500K, including the value created when you eventually sell. Target IRR for a search fund is typically 25–35%.

A 25-unit return is built on a per-unit EBITDA. Fill in the operating costs in Model A above and this model runs on that figure, or take the whole scenario to the full ROI workbench, where the portfolio and LBO models accept your own per-unit economics directly.

Average unit generates $1.4M/year in gross sales. Revenue-to-investment ratio: 0.6x.

Disclosure
Transparency score 4/10 — this franchisor discloses detailed breakdowns (quartiles, segments, or cohort data). Buyers can model unit economics with higher confidence.
Operator retention
System contracting at -11.8% CAGR over 3 years. Investigate whether closures are franchisor-driven consolidation or franchisee exits.
Multi-unit rate
Only 5% of franchisees own multiple units. Could indicate challenging economics or a young system where operators haven't had time to expand.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a ROCKIN’ JUMP franchise?
The total investment to open a ROCKIN’ JUMP franchise ranges from $1.9M – $2.3M, with an initial franchise fee of $60K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do ROCKIN’ JUMP franchise owners earn?
According to Item 19 of the ROCKIN’ JUMP FDD, the average gross sales per unit is $1.4M. The median is $1.4M. Note: this is gross revenue, not profit. Actual owner earnings vary based on location, operating costs, and management.
Who owns ROCKIN’ JUMP?
ROCKIN’ JUMP is franchised by Rockin' Jump Franchise, LLC. Its parent company is Rockin' Jump Holdings, LLC. The ultimate parent named in the FDD is Palladium Equity Partners IV, LP. Source: FDD Item 1, 2022 filing.
What is Item 19 in the ROCKIN’ JUMP 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 ROCKIN’ JUMP FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is ROCKIN’ JUMP's franchise failure rate?
Based on SBA 7(a) loan data, ROCKIN’ JUMP has a charge-off rate of 6.2% across 25 loans, meaning 6.2% of franchise loans were charged off. Charge-off rates are one proxy for franchise risk, though they do not capture all closures. This data comes from FOIA-sourced SBA lending records.
How many ROCKIN’ JUMP franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, ROCKIN’ JUMP has 39 total units in the United States, including 30 franchised units and 9 company-owned units. 1 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is ROCKIN’ JUMP a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates ROCKIN’ JUMP as a D-grade franchise with a verdict score of 36 out of 100 (higher is better). The grade is a deterministic score built from six weighted dimensions — financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency — then calibrated against SBA loan charge-off rates and FDD age. Transparency is one of the six, so a filing that discloses less scores lower on that dimension than one that discloses more. 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.
