According to Bens Soft Pretzels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company experienced a gain on the sale of an asset amounting to $33,000 in 2024. This figure is reported within the Statements of Cash Flows, specifically as an adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities.

For a prospective franchisee, this indicates that Bens Soft Pretzels had a one-time financial gain from selling an asset during the 2024 fiscal year. This gain is a non-cash transaction that affects the company's net income but doesn't directly reflect its core operational performance. It's added back to net income when calculating cash flow from operations to provide a clearer picture of the company's actual cash-generating activities.

It is important to note that a gain on the sale of assets is not a recurring revenue stream. Franchisees should focus more on revenue from franchise fees, royalties, and advertising, as these reflect the ongoing health of the Bens Soft Pretzels business model. While a gain on sale of assets can positively impact the company's financial position in a given year, it should not be considered a key indicator of the franchise's long-term profitability or stability.
