    For the franchisor

    • 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 180 to 201 in 2025. How many new units opened, closed or changed hands?

    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?

    For your advisors

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