GRANITE GARAGE FLOORS

Item 7 outlines an initial investment of $149,500 to $222,200, including a $50,000 franchise fee, covering equipment, inventory, and three months' working capital. Ongoing fees stack up at 6.5% royalty plus 2% brand fund, plus fixed costs like $650 monthly technology, $55 bookkeeping software, and $35 payment processing—elevated versus typical service brands under 6% royalties. Item 19 shines with average gross revenue of $729,404 and median $488,974 from 55 locations, suggesting top performers thrive on volume installs for homeowners and builders, but medians flag variability; a single operator might struggle to hit averages without scaling crews.

System health shows steady expansion from 55 to 57 locations (+4% growth), 15 projected units, and just 1 transfer, indicating low turnover but no explosive scaling since 2013 under Threshold Brands. Four SBA loans average $156,125, a light volume implying limited federal backing needs, possibly due to cash-flow positive model post-ramp-up. For hands-on operators eyeing $500K+ sales potential in underserved markets, this fits; yet fee burdens and revenue spread demand strong local marketing to outperform the median.
