Brand Analysis
FedEx Office is a wholly owned FedEx subsidiary with no franchise program and no disclosure document. The comparable counter you can actually buy is The UPS Store, where the 2026 FDD prices a new traditional center at $222,368 to $606,081.
Brand Analysis
Yes. Jiffy Lube International is a Shell subsidiary, and 1,765 of the system's 2,083 US service centers were franchised at the end of 2025. The 2026 FDD sets a $35,000 fee and a $211,000 to $510,000 investment range that leaves out the land and the building.
Brand Analysis
Yes, McDonald's is a franchise — roughly 95% of its 40,000+ locations worldwide are operated by independent franchisees. But McDonald's franchise model is unlike almost any other brand. Here's how it actually works.
VR Business Brokers requires a $47,500 initial franchise fee and a total initial investment range of $59,305–$85,780, per the most recent FDD on file.
VR Business Brokers is franchised by King Lombardi Acquisitions, Inc., the franchisor entity of record on its Franchise Disclosure Document. Item 1 of the FDD discloses the franchisor's corporate history, parents, and predecessors.
No. VR Business Brokers does not include a financial performance representation in its FDD. Prospective buyers should rely on validation calls with existing franchisees and benchmark against industry medians.
Franchisees pay a royalty of 9% and an advertising fund contribution of 5% on gross sales as defined in Item 6 of the FDD.
As of their 2025 FDD, VR Business Brokers has 30 total locations, with 1 new locations opened in the most recent reporting year. This information comes from Item 20 of the FDD.
Yes. VR Business Brokers grants franchisees an exclusive territory under Item 12 of the FDD. Note that exclusive territories often carve out online sales, alternative distribution channels, and non-traditional venues — review the full Item 12 language before signing.
