How much does a Local Hometown Heroes franchise make?

The average revenue Local Hometown Heroes reports, what that figure does and doesn't include, and where it ranks against home services peers are in the full report.

Local Hometown Heroes 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 Local Hometown Heroes franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Local Hometown Heroes franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. The full report sets Local Hometown Heroes's disclosed revenue against its total ongoing fee load, so you can see what that revenue has to cover before anything reaches you.
Local Hometown Heroes lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Local Hometown Heroes's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) 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.
Local Hometown Heroes closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Local Hometown Heroes 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 Local Hometown Heroes's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a home 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. Local Hometown Heroes's outlet tables are read directly from the FDD in the full report. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Local Hometown Heroes's churn ranks against home services peers, are in the full report.
