How much does a Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) franchise make?

Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) 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 retail brand that discloses earnings in the Retail franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) 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 the royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.

Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange)'s most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) 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.

Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) 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 Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange)'s most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a retail 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. Goldmember, LLC (Crown Gold Exchange) reports no franchised units open yet — there is no operating track record to churn.
