Wild Bill's

Item 7 lays out the initial investment at $155,800-$214,700, covering the $40,000 franchise fee, equipment for soda mixing and dispensing, a trailer or stand setup, and initial inventory of pure cane sugar syrups. No ongoing royalties sweeten the deal—currently zero, though they reserve the right to add up to 5% on third-party products—plus a modest $2,000 annual brand development fund per stand. Only one SBA loan on record at $63,000 average signals limited financing activity so far, which might reflect the system's youth since franchising began in 2014 or cautious lender interest in this niche.

System health shows contraction from 13 locations in 2023 to 12 in 2024—a 8% drop—amid 7 corporate units and 14 total, with 10 new units projected. No Item 19 means no disclosed revenue or profit figures, leaving buyers to rely on Item 20 trends and validate through discovery day chats; this opacity heightens risk in a competitive food truck space where events drive volume. For operators eyeing low-overhead beverage plays, the fee structure shines, but that shrinkage and lack of financial transparency demand scrutiny on local demand for specialty sodas versus established players.
