FRSTeam and Fabric Restoration Service Team
FRSTeam franchises provide specialty and emergency dry cleaning and laundry services for clothing, fabrics, electronics, and optionally contents damaged by disasters such as fire, smoke, water, and mold in residential or commercial properties. The business model requires franchisees to have an existing dry-cleaning facility and targets insurance companies and disaster victims seeking restoration to avoid replacement costs. Services are offered through a network of select providers using proprietary marks, procedures, and 24/7 availability.

Imagine turning your dry-cleaning operation into a 24/7 disaster restoration powerhouse. FRSTeam's model taps into insurance claims for fire, smoke, and water-damaged fabrics and electronics, a niche few competitors touch. Item 19 unveils revenue figures that punch above the home services average, while a handful of SBA loans hint at the capital intensity. But with franchisees needing an existing facility and extra software fees lurking, does this system's +22% expansion signal a goldmine or a specialized gamble?
Item 7 details FRSTeam's initial investment at $138,875-$553,500, reflecting the need for an existing dry-cleaning setup plus vehicles and specialized equipment. The $65,000 franchise fee is on the higher side for home services, paired with 6% royalties, 2% ad fund, and ongoing $510/month FRSTaid plus $250/month ERIS software costs—unusual add-ons that could eat into margins. Yet Item 19 shines: average gross revenue hits $2,021,571 with a median of $1,456,737 across units, and estimated profits clock in at $432,786, suggesting strong scalability for those hitting volume through insurance networks.
System health looks robust under parent Empower Brands: 47 franchise and 2 corporate locations grew from 40 to 49 (+22%) into 2025, with 10 projected new units. Only 4 SBA loans average $1.06M each, indicating big upfront financing but low default flags. Litigation is minimal, and since 2006 franchising from Alpharetta, GA, this ties into disaster-prone markets. For dry-cleaning owners eyeing diversification, the high revenue potential outweighs the niche barriers, but validate with local insurance ties—the numbers scream opportunity if you fit the profile.
