Calculated median gross revenue as the weighted average of the segment median revenues: (3 units * $103,383 + 5 units * $96,611 + 4 units * $233,461 + 11 units * $96,084 + 14 units * $52,821 + 3 units * $140,388 + 8 units * $15,691 + 4 units * $77,401 + 5 units * $54,077 + 1 units * $678,196) / 58 total units = $91,867.98.

N ZONE SPORTS Franchise Analysis
Parents are pouring resources into youth sports, creating fertile ground for brands like N Zone Sports that deliver organized leagues and camps emphasizing teamwork and fun. Item 19 discloses revenue figures that stand out in the kids' recreation niche, paired with aggressive expansion signals. Yet slim SBA lending history raises questions: does this franchise offer the financial stability to match its growth story, or are there hidden hurdles in scaling youth programs?
Item 7 outlines initial investment from $54,400 to $97,450, including a $39,750 franchise fee, making it accessible compared to full-facility sports franchises. Ongoing fees bite harder: 8% royalty (minimum $300-$450/month), 2% ad fund (min $50/month), plus mandated $300-$500 monthly digital marketing and $50-$100 software fees—elevating total outflows beyond typical 10% blends in recreation. Item 19 shines with average gross revenue of $105,789 and median $91,868 across units, suggesting solid top-line potential for operators in protected territories targeting ages 2-17, though profitability hinges on volume in soccer, flag football, and camps.
The system expanded 27% from 63 locations in 2024 to 80 in 2025, with 78 active units, 26 projected new openings, and just 3 transfers signaling stability over distress. Only 1 SBA loan on record at $150,000 average reflects cautious lender interest, possibly due to the model's reliance on seasonal youth enrollment versus evergreen gyms. For hands-on operators in suburban markets, these metrics point to a viable side-hustle scaling to mid-six figures, but the fee stack and light lending track record demand scrutinizing local demographics before committing.
