RUSH BOWLS

Item 7 details the steep entry: $200,000 minimum investment for a modest setup, scaling to $547,500 for prime real estate and full buildout, including the $39,000 franchise fee from Item 5. Ongoing costs bite via Item 6's 6% royalty (or $400 monthly minimum), 2% brand/ad fund, and up to $200 monthly technology surcharge. Absent Item 19 data, there's no official revenue or profit benchmarks, heightening risk—many investors balk without this transparency on what 50 franchised units (plus 3 corporates) actually gross. Seasonal sales tied to warm weather and college proximity add volatility, per the FDD business description.

System health via Item 20 shows zero net growth (50 franchised locations steady 2023-2024), with 6 terminations signaling potential franchisee exits amid expansion hurdles since 2015 launch. Yet 2 transfers and 11 projected new units hint at optimism, bolstered by 35 SBA loans averaging $189,000—strong financing validation for a young brand. Flat growth contrasts the 50-unit footprint, questioning scalability in a niche prone to copycats. If you're financing-savvy and patient with unproven earnings, Rush Bowls offers accessible health-food entry; otherwise, the opacity and stagnation demand caution before committing.
