Fleet Clean quick facts

- How much does it cost to open a Fleet Clean franchise?
- The Fleet Clean Franchise Disclosure Document reports separate estimated initial investments by format: $188,350–$459,000 for total (2026 FDD, Item 7, PDF p. 34); $193,350–$2,959,000 for total including account transfer program/company-owned business purchase program (2026 FDD, Item 7, PDF p. 36).

- What is the Fleet Clean initial franchise fee?
- The disclosed initial franchise fee for a standard single unit is $10,000 (2026 FDD, Item 5, PDF p. 18). Other fee options (for example multi-unit or conversion) are listed separately in the report. Details
- What ongoing fees does Fleet Clean charge?
- The disclosed ongoing royalty is 8.5% of gross revenue (2026 FDD, Item 6, PDF p. 22). Other recurring fees are listed in Item 6. Details
- Does Fleet Clean disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
- Yes. The Fleet Clean FDD includes an Item 19 financial performance representation (2026 FDD, Item 19, PDF p. 85). Figures apply only to the locations and period each one covers. Details
- How much revenue does a Fleet Clean franchise make?
- The Fleet Clean FDD reports a mean gross revenue of $897,792 for 38 franchised franchises, the 38 Franchises that were open continuously and operated as a Franchise during all of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 ("FY 2025") (FY 2025) (2026 FDD, Item 19, PDF p. 84). This figure covers only that group and period; it is not a projection, and it is not profit or owner income.
- How many Fleet Clean locations are there?
- The FDD reports 62 outlets at the end of 2025 (2026 FDD, Item 20, PDF p. 87). Existing locations do not indicate territory availability. Details

- In 2025, the FDD reports 25 outlet openings and 7 exits (closures, terminations and non-renewals combined), plus 6 transfers to new owners (2026 FDD, Item 20, PDF p. 92). These are outlet counts, not franchisee success or failure rates. Details
- Is Fleet Clean a good franchise to buy?
- Franopolis does not rate or recommend franchises. From the reviewed FDD: Item 19 includes financial performance figures; check which locations and period they cover; Item 20 shows openings, exits and transfers for 2025; compare them with the total outlet count; Item 6 lists every recurring fee beyond royalty; Item 20 also lists current and former franchisees you can contact. Review the full FDD with a franchise attorney and accountant before deciding.

“Our current policy is that we generally will not require a guarantee from a spouse (or domestic partner) at the time of signing the Franchise Agreement or Development Agreement if the individual franchisee, or the individual owner of the franchisee that is signing the Guarantee, Indemnification and Acknowledgment has a net worth of at least one million dollars.”
Note: Page 66: "net worth of at least one million dollars" concerns spousal-guarantee waiver, not franchise eligibility.
