How much does a Earthwise Pet and GroomBar by franchise make?
Earthwise Pet and GroomBar by 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 pet services brand that discloses earnings in the Pet services franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Earthwise Pet and GroomBar by 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 Earthwise Pet and GroomBar by's 5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Earthwise Pet and GroomBar by franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Earthwise Pet and GroomBar by franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
Earthwise Pet and GroomBar by lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Earthwise Pet and GroomBar by's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) 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 Earthwise Pet and GroomBar by 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. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Below is what Earthwise Pet and GroomBar by's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a pet services of this kind.
