Brand Analysis
HomeVestors' 2026 FDD reports a $287K median across 898 franchised territories — but the unit-economics story is unique: the franchisee buys houses, renovates, and resells. Revenue is one metric; capital deployment and inventory cycle are the real ones.
Groovy Hues requires a $59,500 initial franchise fee and a total initial investment range of $40,000–$80,000, per the most recent FDD on file.
Groovy Hues is franchised by HPB Painting LLC, 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. Groovy Hues 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 6% on gross sales as defined in Item 6 of the FDD.
As of their 2026 FDD, Groovy Hues has 46 total locations. This information comes from Item 20 of the FDD.
Yes. Groovy Hues 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.
Per the FDD, Groovy Hues discloses an initial agreement term of 10 years, a renewal fee of $11,900. Review Items 10 and 17 for the full renewal and termination provisions.
