VICTORY LANE CENTERS

Item 7 breaks down the initial investment range of $240,000 to $764,500, covering build-out for single-unit quick oil change centers, with a $49,500 franchise fee. Ongoing fees hit 6% royalty plus 2% brand/ad fund, tacked on with $250-500 monthly software/POS costs—standard but adding up in a high-volume, low-margin service like fluid checks and filter swaps. Item 19 shines here: average gross revenue clocks $702,403 across units, median at $639,304, suggesting solid top-line potential if you hit the upper performers, though variability screams for digging into outliers.

System stats reveal 12 franchised locations versus 22 corporate, a -14% drop from 14 franchised in 2023 to 12 in 2024, with just 1 termination but only 4 projected new units. SBA data adds grit: 26 loans averaging $603,923, yet an 11.5% default rate flags financing risks in this capital-intensive auto repair niche. For buyers eyeing area development or conversions, the corporate-heavy footprint offers stability, but shrinking franchise count and modest expansion signal caution—strong revenues tempt, yet you'd need operational edge to beat national competitors.
