Bathroom remodeling taps into endless homeowner demand, and Re-Bath's 30+ years franchising have built a recognizable name in accessibility upgrades and quick installs. Item 19 unveils standout revenue potential rarely seen in services, while SBA lending history and litigation patterns hint at both opportunity and pitfalls. Does this system's expansion mask underlying tensions worth your capital?
Since launching franchises in 1991, Re-Bath has expanded steadily to 145 locations by 2024 (up 7% from 136 in 2023), with 15 new units projected—modest but consistent growth under parent TZP Group. System health holds up with low disruption: only 3 terminations, 5 non-renewals, and 5 transfers in the latest FDD year. Yet litigation clusters around franchise agreement breaches, like unauthorized tech fees, affiliate territorial encroachments, and good faith failures, signaling risks in support and territory integrity that could erode franchisee trust.
Economics deliver punch: $50,000 franchise fee, total investment $275,875-$606,925 (Item 7), 6% royalty tiered to 5% on high per-person sales, 2% ad fund, plus tech ($1 per 1,000 population + $12-$213/user) and managed services fees. Item 19 crushes: average gross revenue $3,904,233, median $2,548,254—top-tier for home improvement, implying solid margins after 8% fees if scaled. SBA stats show 26 loans averaging $381,081 but 11.5% default rate (above norms), underscoring high-stakes entry. Re-Bath suits aggressive investors chasing big checks in a recession-resistant niche, but fee layering and legal friction demand Item 20 deep-dive before committing.
