Franchise Empire’s Take:
-
These are 2 territories that are set up already, and the owner needs to sell them. It’s a great opportunity to hit the ground running with a brand new franchise business to build from the ground up.
-
That 1 Painter is the fastest growing painting franchise brand in the country. Finding new territories available is not easy.
-
Normal investment range is $113,000-$142,000. You get 2 territories and a set up business for the same price as a brand new one.
-
2023 FDD shows Revenue of $719,665 of average revenue for franchised locations open 12+ months. $1.29M for average revenue of all locations open 24+ months.

🎉New Franchise Owner through Franchise Empire 🎉
Clayton had an impressive construction project management background, managing large-scale projects throughout the world. He wanted a service-based business that he could grow quickly and was a good fit for the growing Atlanta suburbs. A high performing flooring franchise checked a bunch of boxes for him, especially after speaking with several individual franchisees and hearing about their experience in the system.

Description:
Five Star Bath Solutions offers quick, affordable bath/shower remodeling services. Their main focus is residential customers who aren’t looking to do a complete bathroom remodel, but instead make some major changes to the bath and/or shower. Most jobs are completed in just 1-3 days. The product itself is pre-cut and simulated to look like stone or marble so it appears like the real thing. The before and after pictures speak for themselves.
Financial Data:
Below tables taken from the Five Star Bath Solutions 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document – Item 19. This is just a snapshot of the 7 pages that are in the FDD.

+ = for franchisees who are operational for all 12 months of 2023
*Median of $619,383; with high of $2,355,660 and low of $0
**Median of $2,944,733; with high of $3,039,252 and low of $1,168,820
***Median of $1,124,116; with high of $2,991,149 and low of $44,900
****Median of $943,558; with high of $10,901,031 and low of $21,595
Benefits for the Franchisee:
- Lead Gen – FSBS likes to say they are a marketing company who happens to do bath remodels. They claim 70%-90% of your leads will come from the advertising they do on your behalf.
- Small Team – You can start with just yourself and 1 installer. As your installer’s schedule gets full, you’ll add on another installer when it makes sense for the business.
- Simple Model – Without doing a complete overhaul of the bathroom, you’re able to get jobs done quickly and efficiently. You don’t need skilled labor as anyone can be trained to become an installer.
- Start From Home – They recommend that you start the business from home. You can lease a small 300-500 sq ft location but that is not required or recommended on day 1.
- Call Center – In-house call center allows you to focus on sales and installation instead of setting appointments and answering questions.
- Item 19 – 7 pages of relatively transparent financials including net income breakdown for a corporate location. Median Gross Sales according to the chart above was $619,383. If you take the median of the total investment ($200,000) you’re getting a potential 3x sales to investment ratio.
