How much does a Glosshouz USA franchise make?

Glosshouz USA 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 average revenue Glosshouz USA reports, what that figure does and doesn't include, and where it ranks against beauty & personal care peers are in the full report. See every beauty & personal care brand that discloses earnings in the Salon, beauty & personal care franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Glosshouz USA 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 Glosshouz USA's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Glosshouz USA franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Glosshouz USA franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. The full report sets Glosshouz USA's disclosed revenue against its total ongoing fee load, so you can see what that revenue has to cover before anything reaches you.

Glosshouz USA lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

We do not publish a litigation answer for Glosshouz USA. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.

Glosshouz USA closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Glosshouz USA 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 Glosshouz USA's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a beauty & personal care 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. Glosshouz USA's outlet tables are read directly from the FDD in the full report. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Glosshouz USA's churn ranks against beauty & personal care peers, are in the full report.
