How much does a Monster Tree Service franchise make?
Monster Tree Service 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 home services brand that discloses earnings in the Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Monster Tree Service 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 Monster Tree Service's 5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Monster Tree Service franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Monster Tree Service franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
Monster Tree Service lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Monster Tree Service'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 Monster Tree Service 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.
Monster Tree Service closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Monster Tree Service 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 Monster Tree Service's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a home 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. Monster Tree Service's latest tables show a shrinking franchised network — more units left than opened. Net franchised outlets moved -42 to 134 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Monster Tree Service?
Monster Tree Service's franchise is offered by Monster Franchising SPE 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.
