    • Which line items in the 2025 Item 7 estimate ($250,496) vary most by market, and why?

    • Which initial fee option would apply to my situation, and what conditions or discounts affect it?

    • Which locations are included in the Item 19 figures, and which were excluded?

    • Reported units went from 10 to 130 in 2024. How many new units opened, closed or changed hands?

    • Is a territory available in my area, and how is it defined in my agreement?

    For current and former owners

    • How did your actual startup costs and timeline compare with the Item 7 estimate?

    • How many hours a week do you work in the business, and in what role?

    • How do your results compare with the Item 19 figures, and what explains the difference?

    For your advisors

    • Ask a franchise attorney to review the territory, renewal, transfer and termination terms.

    • Ask an accountant to build a cash-flow plan using your own assumptions, not the franchisor's.

    Reader notes on wording

    Our automated check found that these summaries may not match the FDD's exact wording. Read the FDD excerpt itself; it is the authoritative text. Core cost, fee, Item 19 and outlet figures are not affected.

    • Item 6 · PDF p. 17 · 2025 FDD

      Our summary: Insufficient funds / late incident fee

      “$250 per incident”

      Note: The extracted OCR splits digits and words inconsistently and the exact quotation could not be saved as verbatim against the PDF page.

    • Item 6 · PDF p. 17 · 2025 FDD

      Our summary: Late payment interest monthly

      “one and a half percent (1.5%) interest per month”

      Note: The percentage is supported, but the table OCR spacing is inconsistent and the exact verbatim quote could not be validated on the listed FDD page.

    • Item 19 · PDF p. 55 · 2025 FDD

      Our summary: Affiliate-owned gross revenue — 2021

      “$889,859.63”

      Note: PDF page 55 OCR splits the amount as “$ 8 89,859.63”; no exact contiguous $889,859.63 quote can be submitted from the page text, so the figure cannot be verified under the quote rule.
