How much does a Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) franchise make?

See every retail brand that discloses earnings in the Retail franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) 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 the royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. The full report sets Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange)'s disclosed revenue against its total ongoing fee load, so you can see what that revenue has to cover before anything reaches you.
Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange)'s most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) 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.

Before you sign, Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list.

Below is what Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange)'s most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a retail of this kind.
