PUBLIC RECORD · FILED 2025 · SOURCE STATE MN
| ITEM 5 | Initial franchise fee | $25,000 |
| ITEM 6 | Ongoing royalty | 6.0% of gross sales |
| ITEM 7 | Total initial investment | $355K–$477K |
| ITEM 19 | Earnings disclosure (FPR) | Yes — financial performance representation made |
| ITEM 20 | Outlets (fiscal 2024) | 249 franchised at year end · 12 exits (exit rate 4.8%, fiscal 2024) |
The headline figure is Net Sales for Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2024, for 195 of 249 units, leaving out not open entire 12 months, international locations incl. Canada, did not report sales and cost information. The mean is 5% above the median, so a minority of high-volume units pulls the average up.
Graded on three things the filing states: coverage (2 points if the figure covers at least 75% of the units it is compared with, 1 point for 50–75%), centre (2 points if it prints both a median and a mean, 1 for one of them), and costs (2 points for costs through a profit line or full cost detail, 1 for some cost items). 5–6 points = More complete, 3–4 = Partial, 0–2 = Limited. The grade describes the disclosure, not the business.
