Item 7 lays out initial investment from $33,650 to $119,000, with a $25,000 franchise fee—low entry for home services but watch the ongoing bleed: 15% royalty plus 15% sales/marketing fee hits 30% total, dwarfing category norms of 5-8% royalties. Add $150-250 monthly software subs, and margins could evaporate fast in a seasonal business reliant on holiday rushes. No Item 19 means no validated revenue or profit reps, a red flag for a system with just 1 corporate location and only 2 projected new units through 2025—stagnant growth signals unproven scalability.

SBA default data is sparse given the youth of this Minneapolis-based outfit, but the combo of high fees and no earnings transparency amplifies risks for franchisees chasing holiday highs. While low startup appeals to side-hustlers, the 30% fees could crush profitability unless volumes explode—compare to peers like Christmas Decor with lower royalties and Item 19 data. For due diligence, this screams 'proceed with extreme caution' unless you thrive on seasonal volatility and have ironclad local marketing chops.
