CLUB CAT Franchise Analysis

CLUB CAT requires a total initial investment of $303K to $439K (midpoint approximately $371K), with an initial franchise fee of $35K. The ongoing fee burden is 8% (6% royalty plus 2% advertising fund). This is below the industry average of approximately 15.5%, leaving more margin for the operator.

CLUB CAT does not publicly disclose Item 19 financial performance data in their FDD. This is a significant transparency gap — franchisees must rely on validation calls and personal research rather than audited financial representations. Prospective buyers should demand current unit-level financials from existing operators during due diligence.

CLUB CAT operates approximately 0 franchised units.

Prospective franchisees should verify all figures against the most recent FDD, conduct validation calls with multiple existing franchisees, and consult with a franchise attorney before signing any agreement.
