Figures above are as disclosed in Gemini Cleaners's most recent FDD (registered 2024). Source: California Dept. of Financial Protection and Innovation — Franchise Registration · filing app-31035. The risk level, the Item 19 figures, how it compares to peers, and the litigation & churn detail are in the full report.
Gemini Cleaners franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Gemini Cleaners does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for Gemini Cleaners — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (many cleaning & restoration franchisors do disclose), and the full report reads the risk signals Gemini Cleaners's FDD does contain — fees, litigation, and outlet churn — against peers. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Cleaning & restoration franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Gemini Cleaners lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Gemini Cleaners's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
Gemini Cleaners closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Gemini Cleaners 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 Gemini Cleaners's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a cleaning & restoration 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. Gemini Cleaners's latest tables show a shrinking franchised network — more units left than opened. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Gemini Cleaners's churn ranks against cleaning & restoration peers, are in the full report.

Who owns Gemini Cleaners?

That name comes straight off the filing at CA DFPI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Gemini Cleaners franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Gemini Cleaners — who is the franchisor?
Gemini Cleaners's most recently filed FDD (2024) names Gemini Cleaners, LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Gemini Cleaners franchise cost?
Gemini Cleaners's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $23,000 – $25,000 and a 6% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. The full report breaks down every fee line and benchmarks it against cleaning & restoration peers.
How much profit does a Gemini Cleaners franchise make?
Gemini Cleaners makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Gemini Cleaners at all — and profit would never be disclosed even where earnings are, because it depends on your rent, labour and how you operate. Any profit figure quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure.
Does Gemini Cleaners disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — Gemini Cleaners's most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing; the report focuses on the verifiable risk signals instead.
Are there lawsuits against Gemini Cleaners?
No — Gemini Cleaners's most recently filed FDD (2024) discloses no litigation in Item 3. Franchisors must disclose material litigation involving themselves, their predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 is a genuine signal rather than an omission.
