Hawaii Fluid Art
Hawaii Fluid Art franchises operate studios offering group and individual art classes focused on fluid art techniques such as acrylic pour, resin art, tumbler art, glass painting, and mosaic classes, along with private lessons, retail sales of artwork, and event space rentals. The business model involves franchisees paying initial fees and ongoing royalties to use the Hawaii Fluid Art brand, system standards, and support for operating these creative experiential studios. The target market includes art enthusiasts, families, groups for parties and events, and individuals seeking hands-on creative activities.

Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 5 disclosed outlets (2 company-owned, 3 franchised) operated continuously for the full year 2023 (January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023).
* The document provides 'Average Net Revenue per Retail Sale' for franchised outlets, but explicitly states that 'Retail sales represent separate sales from the studio art experience.' As such, this data does not represent the total gross revenue per franchise unit, which includes both retail sales and studio art experience revenue. Without total gross revenue per unit, other unit-level financial performance metrics (median revenue, profit, EBITDA, and profit estimations) cannot be accurately determined or calculated from the provided information.
