What it really costs
Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range

| Total initial investment | $0 | $1,000 |
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.
One of the cheapest to open among home services franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (202 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.

Common questions
Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.
How much does a ShelfGenie franchise cost?
ShelfGenie's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $0–$1K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee itself is $25,000, and is included in that range.
Does ShelfGenie disclose earnings (Item 19)?
Yes. ShelfGenie makes a financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD. Item 19 is optional under the FTC Franchise Rule, and gross revenue is not profit — it is stated before royalties, rent, staff and every other cost.
How many ShelfGenie locations closed?
In its most recent reported year (2025), ShelfGenie opened 26, closed 2, terminated 14 franchised outlets, ending the year with 524. Averaged over three years, 6.8% of the system turned over annually — outlets closed, terminated, not renewed or reacquired. These counts come from Item 20, which every franchisor must file.
Does ShelfGenie give a protected territory?
ShelfGenie's FDD describes a protected territory in Item 12. Protection varies in what it actually excludes — franchisors commonly reserve online sales and alternative channels inside it — so the wording in the filing matters more than the yes.
