EMS To You

Franchising since 2025 from Lakewood, CO, EMS To You has expanded minimally: one location in 2024 to one in 2025, a flat +0% growth rate, though it projects six new units soon. Item 7 pegs initial investment at $51,740-$78,910, including a $24,900 franchise fee, initial equipment, and setup for mobile sessions in protected territories up to 110,000 households. Ongoing fees stack up: 5% royalty (minimum $295/month per territory), 3% brand/ad fund plus technology (minimum $150/month per territory), 7% scheduling center fee, $40/month Co-Op Line, and $10/month toll-free number. No Item 19 earnings disclosure means no validated revenue or profit figures from franchisees, a red flag for such a nascent brand with just one unit total.

This low-barrier entry appeals to fitness enthusiasts eyeing side-hustle potential in a $30B+ EMS market, but the trajectory screams caution: zero organic growth, heavy reliance on franchisor projections, and undisclosed financials obscure viability. Exclusive territories sound protective, yet the multi-layered fees (potentially 15%+ effective take rate) could squeeze margins on what might be sporadic bookings. For risk-tolerant operators, it's a ground-floor bet; for most, the lack of proven performance data makes it a pass until more units validate the model.
