Gemini Cleaners franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Gemini Cleaners does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for Gemini Cleaners — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (74% of cleaning & restoration franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Gemini Cleaners's FDD does contain are on this page.

Gemini Cleaners lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Gemini Cleaners's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) 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.
Gemini Cleaners closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Gemini Cleaners 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 Gemini Cleaners's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a cleaning & restoration 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. Gemini Cleaners's latest tables show a shrinking franchised network — more units left than opened. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 0%, against a cleaning & restoration median of 4% — at or better than the category. Net franchised outlets moved -6 to 1 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Gemini Cleaners?
Gemini Cleaners's franchise is offered by Gemini Cleaners, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at CA DFPI; 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:

Gemini Cleaners franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Gemini Cleaners — who is the franchisor?
Gemini Cleaners's most recently filed FDD (2024) names Gemini Cleaners, LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. The same franchisor also files FDDs for Mulberrys Garment Care. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Gemini Cleaners franchise cost?
Gemini Cleaners's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $23,000 – $25,000 and a 6% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against cleaning & restoration peers it sits in the top quartile (median $180,063).
How much profit does a Gemini Cleaners franchise make?
Gemini Cleaners makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Gemini Cleaners at all — and profit would never be disclosed even where earnings are, because it depends on your rent, labor and how you operate. Any profit figure quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure.
Does Gemini Cleaners disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — Gemini Cleaners's most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing: 74% of cleaning & restoration franchisors in our corpus do disclose.
Are there lawsuits against Gemini Cleaners?
No — Gemini Cleaners's most recently filed FDD (2024) discloses no litigation in Item 3. Franchisors must disclose material litigation involving themselves, their predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 is a genuine signal rather than an omission.
Is Gemini Cleaners a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from Gemini Cleaners's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against cleaning & restoration peers and against your own budget.
