Average Gross Revenue

Average Net Profit
$264,174.68
Average Gross Profit
$449,916.12

Data Based On: Financial performance of one company-owned/affiliated café (Village Qahwah, LLC) for partial 2021 (April 10-Dec 31) and full 2022-2023 years. The expenses used for profit calculation are adjusted with hypothetical royalty and ad fund fees to represent a franchise operation, as per the FDD's notes.

* Calculated average gross revenue as the sum of sales for 2021 (partial), 2022, and 2023 divided by 3 years. Calculated average gross profit as (Sales - COGS) for each year, then averaged over 3 years. Calculated average net profit (operating profit) for a hypothetical franchise by subtracting COGS, Labor, Rent, and the stated 5% Royalty and 1% Ad Fund from Sales for each year, then averaged over 3 years. This calculation assumes the provided affiliate expenses (COGS, Labor, Rent) are representative for a franchise, as stated in the notes, plus the hypothetical franchise fees. No expense ranges were provided, so best_guess_profit_low and best_guess_profit_high are the same as the calculated average net profit.

Haraz Coffee House Franchise Analysis

Picture diving into Yemen's Haraz mountains through a quick-service cafe lens—Haraz Coffee House fuses authentic blends with American speed in strip mall spots. Their fresh 2024 FDD drops Item 19 data, spotlighting revenue and profit snapshots from early units that catch the eye in a Starbucks-saturated market. With just a handful of locations but aggressive expansion plans, does this 2023 franchisor have the secret brew for outsized returns, or is the steam all hype?

Item 7 lays out the initial investment from $279,500 to $420,800 for 1,800-2,500 sq ft cafes, covering $50,000 franchise fee, buildout, equipment, and initial inventory—positioning it as mid-tier for coffee concepts without the mega-brand premium. Ongoing fees hit 4% royalty plus 1% brand fund and a $1,500 annual tech fee ($125/month), keeping costs lean. Item 19 shines with average gross revenue of $637,967 across disclosed units, translating to an estimated profit of $264,175—implying healthy 41% margins if accurate, a standout for a brand with only 4 franchise and 7 corporate locations.

System growth exploded +50% from 6 to 9 total locations between 2022-2023, with 12 new units projected, signaling franchisor momentum despite the newbie status since 2023. No red flags in terminations or transfers yet, but the small sample size means validate with FDD Item 20 closings. For buyers eyeing coffee niches, these numbers suggest scalability in underserved ethnic quick-serve, but competition demands prime strip centers—crunch if $280K-$421K aligns with your risk tolerance for a high-margin, culturally distinct play.
