What it really costs

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

ExpenseLowHigh
Initial franchise fee$29,950$29,950
Total initial investment$209,195$495,945

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.
10 CASES
10 material litigations disclosed, including notary-fee class actions (KY, MA, NJ, IL) and legacy Mail Boxes Etc. rebranding disputes (e.g., Morgate LLC v. Mail Boxes Etc., settled ~$4.2M across 143 centers plus a $112,500 individual settlement).
NOT DISCLOSED
Non-compete term/radius wasn't separately quantified in the filing excerpt we have on file.

Figures shown are for a new/relocation Traditional Center (Laser Lite format, non-Rural/non-Veteran); Item 5 fee is for the first center ($19,950 for 2nd+ concurrent-owned center; $9,950 Rural Program). Item 6 brand fund figure of 3.5% combines a 1% Marketing Fee + 2.5% National Advertising Fee reported separately in the document. Item 7 range also varies by remodel vs. new-build and rural vs. traditional (e.g., remodel: $93,670-$201,394); low/high recorded here are the new/relocation traditional-center figures. Item 12: document states territory protection is NOT guaranteed - franchisor retains rights to compete/place Non-Traditional centers within a franchisee's territory. Item 19: document states no specific average/median revenue or profit figures were disclosed in the fetched excerpt (franchisees directed to contact existing owners instead), so item19_provided is recorded as false pending full-document confirmation. Item 20 table and Item 17 exact term/radius not captured in fetched excerpt and left null. Company-owned centers: 2 as of FDD date.
