How much does a Sir Grout franchise make?

Sir Grout 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 $622,650 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.

Sir Grout 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 Sir Grout's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Sir Grout franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Sir Grout franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $622,650 of revenue, a 6% royalty alone is about $37,359 a year before any other cost.

Sir Grout lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Sir Grout's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose 1 legal proceeding 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 Sir Grout 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. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Sir Grout closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Sir Grout 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 Sir Grout'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. Sir Grout's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Net franchised outlets moved +20 to 91 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Sir Grout?

Sir Grout's franchise is offered by Sir Grout Franchising, 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.

Sir Grout's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $128,175 – $198,520 and a 6% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against home services peers it sits in the lower quartile (median $162,725).

How much profit does a Sir Grout franchise make?

Sir Grout discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties (6% of gross for Sir Grout), the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Sir Grout franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate. The headline figure Sir Grout discloses is $622,650 in average unit revenue.

Are there lawsuits against Sir Grout?

Sir Grout's most recently filed FDD (2026) discloses 1 legal proceeding in Item 3. Item 3 covers the franchisor, its predecessors, parents and affiliates — so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Sir Grout itself, and a disclosure is not a finding of wrongdoing.

Is Sir Grout a good franchise to buy?

Nobody can answer that from Sir Grout's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against home services peers and against your own budget.
