Bottom line
- Total investment $22K – $239K including a $50K franchise fee.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 69/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Overview
About
Franchisees operate produce distribution and/or retail operations sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables for resale to restaurants, grocers, or direct consumers. Daily operations likely involve inventory management, supply chain logistics, cold storage management, customer acquisition, and fresh product rotation to minimize spoilage losses.

Risk & Legal
Supreme Produce presents HIGH RISK due to regulatory violations, undisclosed financials, extreme royalty opacity, 1-year non-renewable terms, corporate going concern issues, and stagnant unit growth with unprotected territory.
Score breakdown · what drove the 69 / 100 rating
- 01MINORMultiple regulatory violations across three states (Washington, Maryland, California) indicate systemic compliance failures by franchisor
- 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) prevents financial viability assessment and suggests poor performance data
- 03MINORRoyalty range of 5-25% is extremely wide with no transparency on how rates are determined or applied
- 04MINOR1-year term with unprotected territory creates instability; franchisees can be non-renewed annually with no territorial defense
- 05HIGHGoing Concern designation is FALSE, indicating financial distress at corporate level and potential inability to support franchisees
- 06MINOR327 units with unknown growth trajectory suggests stagnant or declining system; no disclosure of unit openings/closures
- 07MINORHigh franchise fee ($50,000) paired with high royalties (up to 25%) and unproven returns creates unfavorable cost structure
- 08HIGHGBC Food Services litigation involvement suggests affiliated entity liability and potential shared operational control issues
