Rock N Roll Sushi

Item 7 lays out the initial investment range of $356,682 to $877,808, covering build-out for the proprietary rock-themed designs, kitchen gear, and opening inventory—factors that vary widely by location size and real estate costs. The $36,000 franchise fee (Item 5) gets you the brand rights, but ongoing fees bite hard: 6% royalty on gross sales, 2.5% brand fund contribution, plus $250-$650 monthly tech fees. Without Item 19 disclosure, there's no validated revenue or profit figures from existing units, forcing reliance on anecdotal validation or your own modeling; this opacity is a red flag in a competitive sushi segment where margins can swing wildly.

System health shows promise with 69 franchised locations plus 3 corporate, up 8% from 62 franchised in 2023 to 67 in 2024 (Item 20), and 19 new units projected for the coming year. Just 1 transfer last year signals stability, not distress sales, while 6 SBA loans averaging $367,350 suggest accessible financing for qualified buyers. Still, the small footprint versus giants means heavier reliance on local marketing in saturated markets—growth is real but unproven at scale.
