What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bens Soft Pretzels's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total revenue for a stand-alone store (SS5) in 2022 was $136,782.00. 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 refers to a location operated at a street front or similar setting, rather than inside a mall, Walmart, or Meijer store.
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, but excluding (i) sales taxes collected from customers and paid to the appropriate taxing authority and (ii) the amount of all coupons redeemed.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that this is a historical representation and individual results may vary. The FDD explicitly states that there is no assurance that a new franchisee will achieve the same sales levels. Bens Soft Pretzels also emphasizes that they do not authorize employees or representatives to make any financial performance representations beyond what is included in the FDD. If a prospective franchisee receives any other financial performance information or projections, they should report it to Bens Soft Pretzels's management, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review the Item 19 financial performance representation in the FDD and consider factors such as location, competition, and their own management capabilities when evaluating the potential financial performance of a Bens Soft Pretzels franchise.
