Data Based On: 59 fully-reporting franchised Mainstream Boutique® Businesses who were in operation for at least 12 months as of December 31, 2024

* Calculated weighted average revenue: (15 units × $853,178 + 15 units × $502,232 + 14 units × $340,334 + 15 units × $223,537) / 59 total units = $482,184.42. Estimated median revenue by averaging the median net revenues of the two middle segments: ($497,347 + $337,453) / 2 = $417,400. The FDD explicitly states that the financial performance representations do not reflect the cost of revenues, operating expenses, or other costs or expenses to obtain net income or profit, hence net income, net profit, EBITDA, and profit range estimates are set to null.

MAINSTREAM BOUTIQUE Franchise Analysis

Fashion retail franchises like Mainstream Boutique promise trendy women's clothing sales in boutique settings, but recent system shifts add intrigue. Item 19 discloses revenue figures that vary notably from average to median, while SBA loan history signals higher-than-average risks. Can this contracting brand deliver the returns to justify the investment?

Item 7 details the initial investment range of $198,200-$361,350, including a $20,000-$40,000 franchise fee for single-unit deals. Ongoing fees include 7-8% royalties on gross sales, 0.5% brand fund, plus unusual minimum continuing fees starting at $6,000 every six months in year two, rising to $8,000 thereafter, and franchisees must spend 3% locally on ads. Item 19 reveals average gross revenue of $482,184 and median of $417,400 across existing units, suggesting solid top-line potential in a $400K+ range, though no profit data is provided, leaving EBITDA margins to franchisee validation.

System metrics show contraction from 69 to 64 locations (-7%), with 3 corporate stores, 3 terminations, 4 non-renewals, 7 transfers, and 8 projected new units—indicating some churn and modest expansion hopes. SBA data flags concerns: 23 loans averaging $152,565 but a 26.1% default rate, well above category norms around 10-15%, hinting at cash flow strains for owners. High fees relative to retail peers and shrinkage trends make this riskier than stable fashion franchises; weigh against revenue upside before committing.
