What it really costs

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

ExpenseLowHigh
Initial franchise fee
Total initial investment$1,625,600$4,921,000

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.
NOT DISCLOSED
Non-compete term/radius wasn't separately quantified in the filing excerpt we have on file.

Item 7 range combines both disclosed scenarios in the 2022 FDD preview: with financed equipment $1,625,600-$3,677,000; with purchased equipment $2,502,600-$4,921,000. Reported here as the overall low (financed low) to overall high (purchased high) -- true range depends on financing choice. Item 12 excerpt states the franchisor 'may have the right to compete with you in your territory' but a clear yes/no protection flag could not be confirmed, so left null. Franchising-since year reflects the current 'Planet Fitness Franchising LLC' entity per a secondary 2024 FDD summary page; original Planet Fitness franchising began earlier (~2003) under a predecessor entity. Items 3, 4, 5, 6, 17, 19, 20 were not present in the fetched excerpt, so left null.
