Anonymous Franchise Reviews From Actual Franchisees

They’ve made my dreams come true. Didn’t think i could achieve the things I have in such a short span of time. The consistency they’ve shown from day 1 has been vital to my success and always pushing ...

This franchise is very expensive to start up, very expensive to market, and provides little to no value in return for your money. It is an unknown name and it is not worth your effort to help them bui...

This is a new franchise (2.5 yrs old), so expectations need to be adjusted accordingly. All franchisees are currently in growth phase, so it's difficult to judge them purely on profitability at this t...

Terrible franchise. I’ve been part of the system for 15 years. In the beginning, the support was strong and the culture was solid. However, over the past 5–7 years, nearly the entire support team has ...

Avoid at all costs. Total scam company that offers no support or value for the royalties you will be pay. Leadership is lacking. They just care about territory count and getting their royalties. The b...

I've been conflicted on writing this review because I actually have a lot of respect for the people who work at horsepower but my perspective is that it's a very difficult to run this business and pay...

I have absolutely loved my experience owning a Goddard School and would highly recommend it to anyone with the sufficient capital to deploy. The team is great and the franchisee network is great. And ...

The best franchise with the best people. I love it here and it's wildly exceeded my expectations. Profitable, systemitized, team willing to help when needed, and an incredible network of franchisees.

I think this team is on the right track and they are starting to support their franchisees the right way

I'm writing this because I believe in a platform like this. My experience at Groovy Hues has been relatively neutral.

Don't regret this decision at all, has given me the ability to run a profitable business for a long time.

Such terrible guidance from the brand team and the organization of horse power brands as a whole. We were completely led astray during the discovery process. We were not semi absentee. We worked the b...

The model showed great promise, and in less than a year we were actually looking quite well in regards to profitability. Unfortunately, due to the exceptionally large upfront costs via and SBA loan th...

I would consider a Mosquito Joe resale with an established customer base. I would NOT recommend starting a new territory from scratch. The required marketing fees in the DMP program will burry a new o...

Their inept marketing and overall decision-making puts about 10 to 15 locations out of business each year. They suck all the profit out of the company and most owners never renew their contract and ju...

Happy with the team so far. Great leadership and corporate team. Marketing team is very valuable. Not without some bumps in the beginning but I'm guessing that's common in all new businesses. Overall ...

My experience with Ideal has met all expectations. Great brand team and the marketing department does an awesome job. Team is also helpful with design requests that make my job in the field easier. I'...

Many of the causes for concern expressed in other reviews seem to be at least in the process of being addressed. My lenses are clean and clear; not rose colored nor jaded with cynicism, so I am cauti...

Hard to be profitable for the majority of franchisees. Need to be a killer operator, and unfortunately that's really hard to be. Not a system that's going to work for the majority of people.

Overall awesome experience at scenthound. Happy I chose this brand, it has been everything that I expected and more. You should still expect to do the work!!!

So to start. 85 percent of the stores are operating at a loss or break even. Their FDD has complete fabrications which they get away with by saying they are estimates. They lead you to believe you ca...

Great team behind Superior. A lot of work but can be a profitable business. The original owners are great, very involved, have build a great system. Championed by their custom software they built from...

Have had an awesome experience with Superior and think that anyone fortunate enough to join this brand should give it a shot.

My first 5 years in this franchise were fun. It was great to be part of a family of passionate business owners bringing the joy of LEGO to our local communities. Being a young franchise, we had lots o...

Buyer beware. This company promises a lot and you get little. They don't know how to successfully run a profitable store. Most profitable stores have taught themselves how to turn a profit and have bu...

Owning a Bricks & Minifigs franchise has been an extremely disappointing experience. In my opinion, there is little to no value provided for the substantial franchise fees. Support is minimal, inconsi...

The definition of over costed, under supported, and over saturated. This franchisor will make changes to the operations manual with no notifications and then reprimand you for not being in compliance....

Been an okay experience, I don't have anything positive or negative to say about them really. But I do wish they'd be more flexible in allowing us to explore different vendors, being so boxed in has b...

Mosquito Joe has underperformed compared to expectations that were set during the process I went through to buy into the franchise

Like any business, you have to do a lot of work to get this to become a sustainable business. But the franchise system is great, I think very highly of everyone at corporate. They are highly supportiv...
