What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bens Soft Pretzels's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total revenue for a single stand-alone store (SS1) in 2022 was $406,496.00. This data is based on historical gross sales for franchisee-owned operating stores that were open for at least one year as of the end of 2022. The FDD clarifies that a "Stand Alone" store is one operated at a street front or similar location, not within a mall, Walmart, or Meijer.
This figure represents the gross sales, which include all revenues derived directly or indirectly from the business, including on-premises sales and monies derived at or away from the business, whether from cash, check, credit and debit card, trade credit or credit transactions, including without limitation business interruption insurance proceeds and service charges in lieu of gratuity. However, gross sales exclude sales taxes collected from customers and paid to the appropriate taxing authority and the amount of all coupons redeemed.
It is important to note that the FDD explicitly states that individual results may differ, and there is no assurance that a new franchisee will achieve the same level of sales. Bens Soft Pretzels emphasizes that this financial performance representation is based on information provided by their affiliates and was prepared without an audit. Prospective franchisees are encouraged to request written substantiation for this financial performance representation to conduct their due diligence.
Potential franchisees should consider this information as a historical data point and not a guarantee of future performance. They should also investigate the factors that contributed to the success of these stores, such as location, competition, and management practices. Furthermore, the FDD advises franchisees to report any unauthorized financial performance information or projections received to the franchisor's management, the Federal Trade Commission, and appropriate state regulatory agencies.
