V'S BARBERSHOP

Item 7 lays out the entry: $40,000 franchise fee plus $290,000-$690,000 total investment, covering buildout for that signature masculine lair. Royalty hits 6% but tiers down to 3.5% on gross sales over $600,000, paired with 2% ad fund, 1-3% local marketing, $275-300/month software, and $150/month tech fee. Item 19 shines with $578,395 average gross revenue and $536,425 median across units, suggesting solid top-line potential in personal care services—enough for operators hitting volume to clear six figures in cash flow after expenses, especially with low non-renewals (just 1) and 3 transfers indicating owner satisfaction.

System metrics whisper resilience: from 60 to 62 locations (+3% growth), 9 projected new units, and 10 SBA loans averaging $272,060 show accessible financing for expansion-minded buyers. No red flags in terminations, this setup favors franchisees in search territories without exclusivity, targeting all-ages male clients. For a buyer eyeing men's grooming, these numbers signal a defensible moat versus cookie-cutter competitors—probe territory availability and validate local demand to see if V's can barber your portfolio into shape.
