Beyond the filing

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 Wireless Zone franchise cost?

That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital.

What royalty does Wireless Zone charge?

Does Wireless Zone disclose earnings (Item 19)?
Yes. Wireless Zone 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.
