Reviewed figures from each brand's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), side by side. Each figure carries its FDD year and page. This is not a ranking or recommendation, and the two FDDs may cover different years and location groups.
Before you compare
- Blue Stamp Franchisempany figures come from its 2025 FDD and Fitness Machine Technicians figures from its 2026 FDD, so the years differ.
- Item 19 figures cover the location groups each FDD names (Blue Stamp Franchisempany: 2, Fitness Machine Technicians: 3). Different groups are not directly comparable.
