How much does a Patriot Pipeline franchise make?

Patriot Pipeline 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 is $10,497,976 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations). See every home services brand that discloses earnings in the Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Patriot Pipeline 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 Patriot Pipeline's 5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Patriot Pipeline franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Patriot Pipeline franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $10,497,976 of revenue, a 5% royalty alone is about $524,899 a year before any other cost.

Patriot Pipeline lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Patriot Pipeline'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.

Patriot Pipeline closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Patriot Pipeline 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 Patriot Pipeline'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. Patriot Pipeline's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.

Who owns Patriot Pipeline?

Patriot Pipeline's franchise is offered by Patriot Franchising 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.
