VARSITY ZONE

The standout shock: Varsity Zone surged 800% in unit count, from 6 locations in 2024 to 54 by 2025, now totaling 64—a red-hot expansion for a brand franchising since 2024 (FDD Item 20). Initial investment spans $197,245-$243,127 per Item 7, including a hefty $59,500 franchise fee. Ongoing fees blend 5% royalties (tiering down to 3% on higher YTD gross revenue) with $2,499-$2,599 monthly fixed charges for tech, accounting, and software—no current brand fund, but up to 3% possible. Just one SBA loan on record at $190,000 average signals cautious lender uptake amid the youth of the system.

Without Item 19 disclosure, you're blind to validated revenue or profit figures, a glaring gap that demands scrutiny—many explosive growers falter without proven unit economics. System health shines in growth but lacks maturity data like terminations or transfers (Item 20). For HVAC pros eyeing protected territories and proprietary tools, the sub-$250K entry beats bigger players, but tiered fees could squeeze thin margins. Weigh if this velocity justifies the leap into an unproven earnings black box.
