SweatHouz

Item 7 lays out the initial investment from $569,757 to $1,193,974, covering buildout for private sauna suites, cold plunge setups, Vitamin C showers, and branded therapies in 2,000-4,000 sq ft spaces—mostly leased. The $45,000 franchise fee gets you training in Atlanta, site selection help, and proprietary ops systems, but factor in a 6% royalty that steps up to 8% over time, 3% brand fund, and $1,250 monthly tech fee eating into cash flow. Item 19 shines here: average gross revenue hits $330,263 with a median of $260,734 across comparable units, suggesting solid top-line potential in a market hungry for non-invasive recovery options, though medians trail averages indicating some outperformers skew the data.

Growth exploded from 1 franchised unit in 2023 to 22 in 2024—a staggering 2100% jump—plus 15 corporates, with 94 new units projected, signaling aggressive expansion backed by 45 SBA loans averaging $616,889. No major red flags in terminations or transfers per recent FDDs, fitting a developing infrared/contrast therapy niche targeting affluent wellness seekers. For buyers eyeing wellness services, SweatHouz packs punchy financials and momentum, but the fee ramp-up and build costs demand a location with $1M+ population density to hit those revenue marks profitably.
