Cruise Planners Franchise

Cruise Planners, a Cruise Planners Franchising franchise, has been franchising since 1999 - 5 years after the concept was founded in 1994 , currently with 2,600 total locations (2,600 franchised, 0 company-owned; 100% of the recorded total is franchised) in the travel-hospitality sector, headquartered in FL. This editorial registry lists a total initial investment from $2K to $23K, recorded as a low-to-high range in the registry. The registry separately records a franchise-fee field of $11K; its summary does not reproduce every Item 7 line item.

Ongoing royalties run 3.0% of gross sales; the registry also records a 1.0% advertising-fund field, for a 4.0% arithmetic total. Cruise Planners has a recorded Item 19 financial-performance field; Item 19 disclosure is voluntary under the FTC Franchise Rule. The reported average gross revenue per location is $200K; applying the listed royalty rate to that reported average yields $6K as a simple arithmetic illustration, not a cost or profit estimate. Revenue is distinct from profit, and the registry does not provide a complete operating-cost record.

The unit count trend here is positive -- Cruise Planners posted 3.9% net growth year-over-year (200 openings, 100 closures). The registry records both the reported percentage and the count of openings and closures when those fields are available.
