How much does a Annex Brands Commercial Center franchise make?

Annex Brands Commercial Center 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 Annex Brands Commercial Center reports, what that figure does and doesn't include, and where it ranks against business services peers are in the full report. See every business services brand that discloses earnings in the Business services franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

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

Annex Brands Commercial Center lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Annex Brands Commercial Center'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 Annex Brands Commercial Center 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. The full Annex Brands Commercial Center report lists each case with what it was about and how it ended, separates franchisee disputes from corporate and securities matters, and flags the ones a franchisee started — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for.

Annex Brands Commercial Center closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Annex Brands Commercial Center 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 Annex Brands Commercial Center's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a business 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. Annex Brands Commercial Center's latest tables show a growing franchised network. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Annex Brands Commercial Center's churn ranks against business services peers, are in the full report.

Who owns Annex Brands Commercial Center?

Annex Brands Commercial Center's franchise is offered by ANNEX BRANDS INC — 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. The same franchisor files separate FDDs for other brands, which is worth knowing — sibling brands share a franchise-support organization but disclose their own numbers:
