Extreme Art Studio

Item 7 lays out the financial entry: $45,000 franchise fee plus total initial investment from $119,030 to $355,455, spanning leasehold improvements, studio buildout, equipment, and opening marketing. Ongoing fees hit hard—8% royalty on gross sales or $500 monthly minimum, 1% brand fund, $400 monthly technology fee, $225-$300 monthly DB software, and $35 monthly CR software base. This structure guarantees franchisor cash flow even from slow-launch units, but squeezes thin margins in a startup arts niche where revenue ramps gradually through classes, events, and parties.

System health signals caution for investors. Franchising only since 2023 from Eden Prairie, MN headquarters under Lara Schinke-Olson, Inc., with Item 20 projecting just 4 new units, this remains an unproven network likely under 10 locations total. No Item 19 disclosure means zero validated sales or profit figures, amplifying risk in a competitive experiential services space—wide investment variance hints at location-driven costs, while fixed minimums demand quick customer traction. For arts enthusiasts eyeing $120K+ entry, the model's creativity shines, but absent earnings data and baby-system scale scream 'high-risk pioneer play' over steady income generator.
