What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bens Soft Pretzels's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a single stand-alone store (SS1) generated a total revenue of $686,994.00 in 2024. This figure represents the gross sales for stores open and operating for at least one year as of the end of 2024. It's important to note that this data is based on historical performance and provided by Bens Soft Pretzels's management without an audit. Prospective franchisees should understand that individual results may vary, and there is no guarantee of achieving similar sales figures.
The FDD defines "Gross Sales" as 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, but excluding (i) sales taxes collected from customers and paid to the appropriate taxing authority and (ii) the amount of all coupons redeemed.
Bens Soft Pretzels emphasizes that this financial performance representation is based on historical data from franchisee-owned operating stores. The FDD also clarifies that a "Stand Alone" store refers to a location operated at a street front or similar setting, rather than within a mall or a Walmart or Meijer store. This distinction is important as different store types tend to have varying levels of revenue. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider the location type and its potential impact on sales when evaluating this financial performance representation.
It is crucial for potential franchisees to conduct their own due diligence and not rely solely on this financial performance representation. Bens Soft Pretzels encourages prospective franchisees to request written substantiation for the financial performance representation and to report any unauthorized financial performance information to the franchisor's management, the Federal Trade Commission, and appropriate state regulatory agencies.
