There is more in Crumbl’s filing
What it costs to open is free, above. Access opens what the franchisor disclosed about earning it back — here and on every other brand we have read:
- What Item 19 states its outlets earn, and on how many of them
- Every ongoing fee, not just the royalty — priced in dollars a year
- How many franchisees left, were terminated, or sold up
- Territory, renewal, non-compete and dispute terms
- What in the record is worth asking about, and why
- A five-year projection you can put your own rent, wages and borrowing into
One price opens all of it, on every brand we have read. Once opened it stays open.
The loan record stays free — how many of this brand’s franchisees borrowed from a bank to buy in, and how many never paid it back. That is a public government record and we do not charge for it. What you pay for is only what we read out of the franchisor’s own disclosure document.
