How much does a Hammer & Nails - Grooming for Men (Unit) franchise make?

Hammer & Nails - Grooming for Men (Unit) 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 Hammer & Nails - Grooming for Men (Unit)'s 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Hammer & Nails - Grooming for Men (Unit) franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Hammer & Nails - Grooming for Men (Unit) franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $847,065 of revenue, a 6% royalty alone is about $50,824 a year before any other cost.
Hammer & Nails - Grooming for Men (Unit) lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Hammer & Nails - Grooming for Men (Unit)'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.
Hammer & Nails - Grooming for Men (Unit) closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Hammer & Nails - Grooming for Men (Unit) will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list.

Below is what Hammer & Nails - Grooming for Men (Unit)'s most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a beauty & personal care 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. Hammer & Nails - Grooming for Men (Unit)'s latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 0%, against a beauty & personal care median of 1.8% — at or better than the category.
