Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Rubber Ducky franchise?
The total investment to open a Rubber Ducky franchise ranges from $76K – $524K, with an initial franchise fee of $45K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Rubber Ducky franchise owners earn?

What is Rubber Ducky's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Rubber Ducky (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.
Is Rubber Ducky a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Rubber Ducky as a D-grade franchise with a risk score of 75 out of 100, based on our analysis of investment costs, revenue data, SBA loan performance, and growth trends.
