Answer from 2025 FDD Document

Although not associated with our parents PSB Group, PSB or AE Capital, another affiliate through common control with our Chief Executive Officer is Row House Franchising, LLC ("Row House"), which is the franchisor of fitness and workout studio businesses that operate under the name "Row House". Row House's principal place of business is at 126 Garrett St., Suite J, Charlottesville, VA 22902. Row House became our affiliate following an acquisition that closed on May 20, 2024. Row House has been offering franchises since May 20, 2024 and does not offer franchises in any other line of business, does not engage in any other line of business, and does not own or operate any similar businesses to the one it franchises. Row House's predecessors, Row House Franchise SPV, LLC and Row House Franchise, LLC, franchised the Row House system from December 2017 to May 2024. As of December 31, 2024, there were 46 Row House franchisees in the U.S. operating 46 franchised businesses and no company-affiliated businesses.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 360 Painting Franchise Disclosure Document, Row House Franchising, LLC became an affiliate of 360 Painting on May 20, 2024. This affiliation was established through an acquisition. Row House Franchising, LLC is identified as the franchisor of fitness and workout studio businesses operating under the name "Row House."

This means that Row House, while not directly owned by 360 Painting's parent companies (PSB Group, PSB, or AE Capital), shares common control through the Chief Executive Officer. This arrangement is not unique, as other fitness-related franchises like Eat the Frog and Neighborhood Barre also operate as affiliates under similar circumstances. These affiliated businesses are separate legal entities from 360 Painting, and they operate in a different line of business, specifically fitness studios.

For a prospective 360 Painting franchisee, this information provides insight into the broader business network associated with the brand. While 360 Painting franchisees will primarily focus on painting and wall finishing services, they may indirectly benefit from the shared resources, expertise, or reputation within the affiliated group of companies. However, it's important to note that 360 Painting franchisees are not directly involved in the operations or management of Row House or other affiliated businesses.
