Risk & Legal
Supreme Deli presents HIGH RISK due to documented regulatory violations, absence of financial transparency, unstable 1-year terms, and indicators of potential franchisor financial distress.
Score breakdown · what drove the 72 / 100 rating
- 01MINORMaterial securities law violations across three states (WA, MD, CA) involving unregistered franchise sales and failure to provide disclosure documents
- 02MINORNo financial performance disclosure (Item 19) — cannot verify if 40.9% unit growth translates to profitable operations
- 03MINORExtremely short 1-year franchise term creates instability and suggests franchisor lacks confidence in long-term viability
- 04MINORWide royalty range (5-25% of weekly gross sales) with no clarity on rate structure — potential for unexpected cost increases
- 05MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition between franchisees and reduces exclusivity value
- 06MEDHigh initial investment ($27,975-$288,125 variance) relative to undisclosed revenue potential
- 07HIGHGoing Concern indicator is FALSE — suggests potential financial distress at franchisor level
- 08MINORRapid unit growth (40.9% YoY) may be driven by aggressive recruitment rather than organic unit profitability
