How much does a Sandbox VR franchise make?

Sandbox VR 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 $59,040,664 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations).

Sandbox VR 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 Sandbox VR's 5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Sandbox VR franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Sandbox VR franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $59,040,664 of revenue, a 5% royalty alone is about $2,952,033 a year before any other cost.

Sandbox VR lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Sandbox VR's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose 2 legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Sandbox VR itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. 2 of those proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Sandbox VR closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Sandbox VR 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 Sandbox VR's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a other 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. Sandbox VR's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Net franchised outlets moved +7 to 10 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Sandbox VR?

Sandbox VR's franchise is offered by Glostation Franchisting USA, Inc. — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
