Quick fee read: $40K franchise fee · 6.5% royalty/ad burden. These figures are directional screening data, not a substitute for reading the current FDD and speaking with existing operators.
Clubstore Outlet requires a total initial investment of $197K to $274K (midpoint approximately $235K), with an initial franchise fee of $40K. The ongoing fee burden is 6.5% (5.5% royalty plus 1% advertising fund). This is below the industry average of approximately 11.2%, leaving more margin for the operator.
Clubstore Outlet 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.
The SBA 7(a) loan default rate of 28.6% is above the franchise industry average of approximately 8.1%, suggesting elevated financial risk for franchisees relying on debt financing.
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.
