Based on 2 reviews
FORMER FRANCHISEE
Number of Locations: 1
The franchisee expressed a negative overall view of the brand. They reported very poor financial results and ROI and found the franchisor’s customer acquisition strategies ineffective, resulting in a very low willingness to recommend. They also felt the initial onboarding and ongoing support were lacking. On the positive side, the provided technology and hiring experience were adequate, and the time commitment met expectations.
PERFORMANCE SCORECARD
FRANCHISEE
Number of Locations: 2
The franchisee expressed a very positive view of the brand. They praised a strong marketing strategy that connects franchisees into a single, larger market and reported that their financial results have met the expectations set during the sales process, noting they would be very likely to purchase again. The only caution was that the franchisor’s recommended time commitment aligned only moderately with their initial expectations, and they otherwise suggested no specific improvements. They also appreciated the brand’s support for veterans.
