ROI & LBO modelsSingle-unit · 25-unit portfolio · editable
Sunmed | Your CBD Store makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD - a voluntary item under the FTC Franchise Rule - so no unit revenue figures are disclosed. The return models need a revenue figure to start from, and the operating costs that turn gross sales into a profit are in no FDD. Enter your own and the calculator runs on your assumptions — nothing here is modelled until you do.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Sunmed | Your CBD Store franchise?
The total investment to open a Sunmed | Your CBD Store franchise ranges from $96K – $151K, with an initial franchise fee of $20K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Sunmed | Your CBD Store franchise owners earn?
Sunmed | Your CBD Store makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD - a voluntary item under the FTC Franchise Rule - so no unit revenue figures are disclosed. Declining to publish one is lawful and is not evidence of how the outlets perform. It does mean that less about this brand can be verified from its filing, and the FranchiseVerdict grade - an editorial assessment, not investment advice - reflects that. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns Sunmed | Your CBD Store?
Sunmed | Your CBD Store is franchised by Your CBD Stores Franchising, LLC. Its parent company is Sunflora, Inc.. Source: FDD Item 1, 2024 filing.
What is Item 19 in the Sunmed | Your CBD Store 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 Sunmed | Your CBD Store FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Sunmed | Your CBD Store's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Sunmed | Your CBD Store (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 Sunmed | Your CBD Store franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, Sunmed | Your CBD Store has 279 total units in the United States, including 275 franchised units and 4 company-owned units. 33 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is Sunmed | Your CBD Store a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Sunmed | Your CBD Store as a B-grade franchise with a verdict score of 53 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.
