    Does Insulation Commandos disclose financial performance (Item 19)?

    In 2025, the FDD reports 33 outlet openings and 2 exits (closures, terminations and non-renewals combined), plus 1 transfers to new owners (2026 FDD, Item 20, PDF p. 67). These are outlet counts, not franchisee success or failure rates. Details
    Is Insulation Commandos 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 includes a brand or advertising fund contribution on top of royalty; Item 20 also lists current and former franchisees you can contact. Review the full FDD with a franchise attorney and accountant before deciding.
