Risk & Legal
With A Twist presents CAUTION-level risk due to absence of financial performance data, questionable franchisor stability, modest unit growth, and high relative upfront costs without revenue transparency.
Score breakdown · what drove the 54 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo Item 19 financial disclosure (average revenue and net income not disclosed) — impossible to assess ROI or profitability
- 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, indicating potential financial instability at franchisor level
- 03MEDSmall unit base (24 locations) with only 20% YoY growth suggests limited brand recognition and slower market penetration than established competitors
- 04MEDHigh royalty rate (7%) combined with undisclosed profitability means franchisees may struggle to achieve positive cash flow
- 05MINORWide investment range ($54.5K–$136K spread of 149%) indicates inconsistent unit economics or high variability in startup costs
- 06MINORFranchise fee of $29K represents 53% of the minimum investment — heavy upfront cost burden with no revenue visibility
