GREEN LEAF'S BEYOND GREAT SALADS/BANANAS SMOOTHIES & FROZEN YOGURT

Item 7 details startup costs from $224,500 to $457,000 for core Green Leaf’s units, scaling to $654,200 when pairing with Bananas smoothies—covering buildout, equipment, and inventory in high-traffic spots. Franchise fees run $22,000 to $35,000 upfront, followed by 5% royalties and 1% brand fund, keeping ongoing burdens manageable at around 6% of sales. Item 19 shines with average gross revenues of $870,874 and medians at $644,393 across 14 franchised outlets (9 corporate-owned), implying strong performers offset slower ones and hint at 20-30% margins before expenses if costs align tightly.

System maturity dates to 1983 under Villa Pizza, Inc. in Morristown, NJ, yet franchise count stalled at 14 from 2023-2024 with just 1 projected unit, underscoring limited momentum despite health-food tailwinds. Litigation logs focus on royalty disputes, paired with a bankruptcy blemish on the parent, which tempers enthusiasm—top revenues reward prime locations but flat expansion questions scalability. Buyers chasing $800K+ grosses in compact footprints will probe unit-level P&Ls and transfer activity to gauge if this duo-concept play justifies the mid-range investment.
