What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bens Soft Pretzels's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total revenue for a Bens Soft Pretzels mall location (identified as SS6) in 2023 was $298,259. This data is based on historical gross sales for franchisee-owned operating stores that were open and operating for at least one year as of the end of 2023. This figure represents the actual annual gross sales for that store type during that period.
It's important to note that this is a financial performance representation based on past performance, and Bens Soft Pretzels explicitly states that individual results may vary. There is no guarantee that a new franchisee will achieve the same level of sales. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider this information, along with other factors such as location, market conditions, and their own management skills, when evaluating the potential profitability of a Bens Soft Pretzels franchise.
Bens Soft Pretzels also clarifies that they do not authorize employees or representatives to make any financial performance representations beyond what is included in Item 19 of the FDD. If a potential franchisee receives any other financial performance information, they are advised to report it to the franchisor's management, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies. This is a standard practice in franchising to ensure transparency and prevent misleading information.
Prospective franchisees should request written substantiation for the financial performance representation and, if considering purchasing an existing outlet, should request the actual records of that outlet to gain a more comprehensive understanding of its financial performance. This due diligence is crucial in making an informed decision about investing in a Bens Soft Pretzels franchise.
