Christian Brothers Automotive Franchise

Christian Brothers Automotive, a Christian Brothers Automotive Corp franchise, has been franchising since 1996 - 15 years after the concept was founded in 1981 , currently with 270 total locations (270 franchised, 0 company-owned; 100% of the recorded total is franchised) in the automotive sector, headquartered in TX. This editorial registry lists a total initial investment from $495K to $1.1M, with separate listed low and high values. The registry records a separate franchise-fee field of $55K and does not list every Item 7 component in this summary.

The brand charges 5.5% of gross sales in ongoing royalties; the registry also records a 1.0% advertising-fund field, for a 6.5% arithmetic total. The registry records an Item 19 field for Christian Brothers Automotive. Financial-performance disclosure in Item 19 is voluntary under the FTC Franchise Rule. The reported average gross revenue per location is $1.6M; the listed royalty rate multiplied by the reported average equals $88K, which is not a total-cost or profit calculation. Revenue is not profit; this registry does not contain a complete operating-cost or profit record.

Network momentum is currently positive: Christian Brothers Automotive added units at a 7.4% net rate year-over-year (25 openings, 5 closures). This is a reported network-size change, not a measure of profitability, demand, or franchisee outcomes.
