How much does a WaveMAX Coin Laundry franchise make?
WaveMAX Coin Laundry 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 $410,987 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations).

WaveMAX Coin Laundry 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 WaveMAX Coin Laundry's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a WaveMAX Coin Laundry franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "WaveMAX Coin Laundry franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $410,987 of revenue, a 6% royalty alone is about $24,659 a year before any other cost.
WaveMAX Coin Laundry lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
WaveMAX Coin Laundry's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) 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.
WaveMAX Coin Laundry closures & failure rate
Before you sign, WaveMAX Coin Laundry 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 WaveMAX Coin Laundry'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. WaveMAX Coin Laundry's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 2.3%. Net franchised outlets moved +7 to 50 in the latest reported year.
Who owns WaveMAX Coin Laundry?
WaveMAX Coin Laundry's franchise is offered by WaveMAX Franchise, LLC (Unit Franchise) — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025), 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.
