What it really costs

Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range

Initial franchise fee$19,900$19,900
Total initial investment$102,000$129,600

Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.

Earnings disclosure

Does the franchisor share performance data? No

This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls.

Legal history

CLEAR
No bankruptcy disclosures for the franchisor or its officers.
