How much does a Laundry Spot franchise make?

Laundry Spot 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 did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every other brand that discloses earnings in the Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Laundry Spot 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 Laundry Spot's 5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Laundry Spot franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Laundry Spot franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.

Laundry Spot lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Laundry Spot's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) 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.

Laundry Spot closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Laundry Spot 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 Laundry Spot's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a other 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. Laundry Spot's latest tables show a stable franchised network.

Who owns Laundry Spot?

Laundry Spot's franchise is offered by The Laundry Spot Franchise LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
