How much does a Shot of Art franchise make?

Shot of Art 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 $596,757 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations).

Shot of Art 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 Shot of Art's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Shot of Art franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Shot of Art franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $596,757 of revenue, a 6% royalty alone is about $35,805 a year before any other cost.

Shot of Art lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Shot of Art'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.

Shot of Art closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Shot of Art 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 Shot of Art'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. Shot of Art's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Net franchised outlets moved +1 to 1 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Shot of Art?

Shot of Art's franchise is offered by Shot of Art Franchise LLC — 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.
