How much does a Annex Brands Commercial Center franchise make?

Annex Brands Commercial Center is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure is $659,000 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations).

Annex Brands Commercial Center franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Annex Brands Commercial Center's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Annex Brands Commercial Center franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Annex Brands Commercial Center franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $659,000 of revenue, a 6% royalty alone is about $39,540 a year before any other cost.

Annex Brands Commercial Center lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Annex Brands Commercial Center's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose 1 legal proceeding in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Annex Brands Commercial Center itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. 1 of those proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Annex Brands Commercial Center closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Annex Brands Commercial Center will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Annex Brands Commercial Center's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a business services of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Annex Brands Commercial Center's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 0%, against a business services median of 3.3% — at or better than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +1 to 48 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Annex Brands Commercial Center?
