What the Mathnasium FDD reveals
Signature read: 1,200 locations · Item 7 low $113K
Mathnasium, a Roark Capital Group franchise, has been franchising since 2003 - 1 years after the concept was founded in 2002 , currently with 1,200 total locations (1,200 franchised, 0 company-owned; 100% of the recorded total is franchised) in the education sector, headquartered in CA. This editorial registry lists a total initial investment from $113K to $149K, recorded as a low-to-high range in the registry. A franchise-fee field of $49K is recorded separately, while the registry summary does not reproduce the full Item 7 schedule.
Ongoing royalties run 10.0% of gross sales. Mathnasium has an Item 19 financial-performance field in this registry, a voluntary disclosure under the FTC Franchise Rule. The reported average gross revenue per location is $350K; multiplying the reported average by the listed royalty rate gives $35K as an arithmetic illustration only. Revenue is not profit; this registry does not contain a complete operating-cost or profit record.
Network momentum is currently positive: Mathnasium added units at a 3.3% net rate year-over-year (80 openings, 40 closures). This is a reported network-size change, not a measure of profitability, demand, or franchisee outcomes.
