What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bens Soft Pretzels's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a stand-alone store (SS5) generated $98,465 in total revenue during 2024. This figure is based on the gross sales of franchisee-owned operating stores that were open for at least one year. It's important to note that this data is historical and may not be indicative of future performance. Individual results may vary, and there is no guarantee that a new franchisee will achieve similar sales figures. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider this information and conduct their own due diligence before investing in a Bens Soft Pretzels franchise. The FDD also clarifies that "Gross Sales" includes all revenues derived directly or indirectly from the business, excluding sales taxes collected from customers and coupon redemptions. A "Stand Alone" store is defined as one operated at a street front or similar location, not within a mall or a Walmart or Meijer store. This distinction is important as revenue can vary significantly based on location type. The FDD provides revenue data for various store types, including mall, Walmart, and Meijer locations, allowing potential franchisees to compare performance across different settings. This detailed breakdown enables informed decision-making based on location-specific revenue potential.
