SKIN EXPERTS by Brentwood Spa

Financial Performance

Item 19 Financial Performance

Data Based On: 3 franchisor-owned outlets

* The document provides 'AVERAGE GROSS PROFIT MARGIN ON SALES' as percentages (81%, 81%, 80%) for franchisor-owned outlets. It also provides 'AVERAGE PRODUCT SALES PER MONTH' and 'AVERAGE PRODUCT SALES PER CUSTOMER VISIT' in dollar amounts for these outlets. However, total gross revenue (including both product and service sales) is not provided, nor are any operating expenses, net income, or EBITDA figures. Therefore, it is not possible to calculate 'average_gross_revenue', 'median_gross_revenue', 'average_net_income', 'average_net_profit', 'average_ebitda', or a 'best_guess_profit_low/high' range based on the information given. The gross profit margins are percentages, not dollar amounts of profit.

SKIN EXPERTS by Brentwood Spa Franchise Analysis

Imagine diving into the lucrative skincare spa world with a fresh brand that's already disclosing detailed earnings in its FDD—yet its unit count hasn't budged. Skin Experts by Brentwood Spa launched franchising last year amid soaring demand for facials and proprietary products, complete with membership programs and standardized ops. But with Item 19 laying bare the revenue realities and Item 20 showing stalled growth, is this high-investment play poised for breakout or a risky bet? Unlock to see if the numbers add up.

Item 7 outlines a steep initial investment of $485,600 to $865,100 for 1,400-2,500 sq ft spaces in Class A/B retail, covering buildout, equipment, and inventory in this equipment-heavy model. Ongoing fees hit hard: $39,500 franchise fee upfront, then $1,500 monthly royalty plus $3,500 monthly local marketing—totaling $84,000 annually before any 2% brand fund kicks in. Item 19 does disclose earnings, offering a peek at franchisee performance through sales of QUL products and services, though the system's youth means limited track record for benchmarking.

System health flags caution per Item 20: just 3 corporate locations, flat from 3 in 2023 to 3 in 2024 (0% growth), with 6 projected new units signaling ambition but no proof yet. No data on terminations or transfers, typical for a 2024 starter, and 3 owned corporates suggest tight control from West Hollywood HQ. For beauty spa investors, the $500K+ entry demands strong local draw in consumer skincare, but fixed high marketing mandates could squeeze margins early—making Item 19's disclosed figures crucial to validate if memberships and product upsells deliver in this unproven network.
