What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bens Soft Pretzels's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a single-store Meijer location (SS4) generated $137,544.00 in total revenue during 2022. This data is part of a larger financial performance representation that includes gross sales figures for various types of Bens Soft Pretzels locations, such as stand-alone stores, mall locations, and Walmart locations, over the 2022, 2023, and 2024 measurement periods. These figures represent historical gross sales for franchisee-owned operating stores.
It's important to note that these figures are based on past performance and may not be indicative of future results. As the FDD clearly states, individual results may vary, and there is no assurance that a new franchisee will achieve the same level of sales. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these figures in light of their own market conditions, business acumen, and investment capabilities.
Bens Soft Pretzels emphasizes that it does not make any other financial performance representations beyond what is included in Item 19 of the FDD. If a potential franchisee receives any additional financial performance information or projections, 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 disclaimer in franchise agreements, intended to protect both the franchisor and franchisee from unrealistic expectations or unauthorized claims.
In summary, while the $137,544.00 revenue figure for a Meijer location in 2022 provides a benchmark, prospective Bens Soft Pretzels franchisees should conduct their own due diligence and not rely solely on this historical data when making their investment decision.
