About

The B-12 Store franchisees operate wellness retail locations focused on vitamin B-12 supplements and related nutrient products, likely including IV drips, injections, or oral supplements. Day-to-day operations involve customer consultations, inventory management, point-of-sale transactions, and potentially administering B-12 treatments under applicable state regulations.

Risk & Legal

62
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE62 / 100

Undisclosed financials, minimal unit growth, recent litigation, and high fixed costs relative to unknown average revenue create significant uncertainty around unit-level profitability and franchisor stability.

Score breakdown · what drove the 62 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINORNo financial disclosure (Item 19) — cannot validate $81k-$223k investment ROI or profitability claims
  2. 02MINORSlow unit growth of only 6.8% YoY with 48 total units suggests market saturation or franchisee struggle
  3. 03MINORHigh fixed monthly royalty ($1,500) represents 18-22% of potential monthly revenue for marginal locations
  4. 04HIGHRecent trademark litigation (2021-2022) indicates IP/branding vulnerability and potential reputational damage
  5. 05MINORFranchise fee of $50,000 is non-refundable against a vague investment range ($81k-$223k spread suggests inconsistent buildout costs)
  6. 06HIGHNo 'Going Concern' status is False, which is unusual phrasing — suggests potential financial instability of franchisor
