SERVICEMASTER RESTORE

Financials from the 2025 FDD paint a high-volume picture: average gross revenue hits $945,058 with a median of $525,191 across disclosed units, signaling a few top earners skew the average but solid medians for the category. Item 7 pegs initial investment around the franchise fee of $72,500—elevated versus cleaning peers—plus ongoing tiered royalties dropping from 10% to 5.95% on higher sales volumes, a 2% brand fund (rising to 2% above $7.5M group sales), and $900 monthly tech fees for tools like Restore 365 and Xactware. No explicit profit figures, but the revenue spread suggests 20-30% margins possible for efficient operators after fees, far outpacing typical cleaning services under $500K.

System maturity shines with 1,939 locations under Roark Capital since franchising relaunched in 2021, implying acquisition of an established network rather than organic growth. SBA stats bolster appeal: 238 loans averaging $530,547 with just 0.8% defaults, crushing industry norms and signaling low franchisee failure risk. Litigation centers on terminations, contract breaches, and resale disputes—standard for a large system but worth scrutinizing FDD Items 3 and 20 for patterns that could snag new owners in Atlanta-based ops.
