Data from public FDD filings and SBA records. Not financial advice. Methodology
Franchised units fell from 26 to 24 over 3 years. Investigate why operators are leaving.
The franchisor's auditor raised doubt about continued operations. This is a serious risk signal.
Bottom line
- Total investment $65K – $401K including a $45K franchise fee.
- Item 19 discloses "Monthly Gross Retail Revenue" rather than annual gross sales, so unit revenue is not directly comparable.
- Verdict C (Average) with a risk score of 65/100.
- Auditor disclosed a going-concern note, which flagged doubt about the franchisor's ability to continue operations. Verify against the latest FDD.

Is WOOPS! a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates WOOPS! as a C-grade franchise with a risk score of 65 out of 100, based on our analysis of investment costs, revenue data, SBA loan performance, and growth trends. 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.
