PUBLIC RECORD · FILED 2026 · SOURCE STATE MN
| ITEM 5 | Initial franchise fee | $49,000 |
| ITEM 6 | Ongoing royalty | 7.0% of gross sales |
| ITEM 7 | Total initial investment | $188K–$607K |
| ITEM 3 | Disclosed litigation matters | 2 |
| ITEM 19 | Earnings disclosure (FPR) | Yes — median unit volume $460K (population and period as defined in the filing's Item 19) |
| ITEM 20 | Outlets (fiscal 2025) | 210 franchised at year end · 2 exits (exit rate 1.3%, fiscal 2025) |
| ITEM 21 | Franchisor financial statements | Unmodified (clean) opinion — Gilbert & Stewart, Certified Public Accountants (Provo, UT) |
The headline figure is Gross Sales for Calendar year 2025, for 155 of 210 outlets open at year end, leaving out open less than 12 months. The mean is 7% above the median, so a minority of high-volume units pulls the average up. It shows no costs, so it says nothing about what an owner keeps.
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.

How to read this: royalties recur as long as franchisees trade; initial and development fees arrive only when new franchises are sold. A franchisor whose revenue leans on initial fees is funding itself by selling territories, and that revenue stops when sales slow. Under ASC 606 most franchisors recognize initial fees over the agreement term, so the line understates the cash collected in a strong selling year. Ad-fund revenue, where reported, is included in total revenue as the statements present it.
Each figure links to its page in the filed PDF. “Matched to statement” means our extraction and a second, rule-based read of the statement page agree; “extracted · not cross-checked” means the statement page is a scanned image or could not be read as text.
