Benchmarked against every other franchises franchise we've graded from public FDDs — the context the franchisor's pitch never gives you.
What their own earnings claim actually says
No financial performance representations made. Franchisor explicitly disclaims any representations about franchisee future performance or company-owned outlet historical performance.
Honesty grade F: the disclosed numbers are incomplete or framed to look better than an owner's real take-home.
The FDD lists a total initial investment of about $64,350–$433,000, including a $35,000 initial franchise fee.
How much do @properties franchise owners make?
@properties discloses little or no earnings data (Item 19) — meaning the franchisor won't put real owner profit in writing. That's a red flag worth questioning.
It depends on the numbers, not the pitch. @properties scores F on disclosure honesty, carries about 4.5% of sales in ongoing fees, and discloses 6 legal matters. Get the real owner take-home before you sign.
