Sparkle Wash Franchise

Sparkle Wash, a Sparkle Wash International franchise, has been franchising since 1967 - 2 years after the concept was founded in 1965 , currently with 200 total locations in the home services sector, headquartered in OH. The 2024 FDD lists a total initial investment between $72K and $198K, roughly a 175% gap between the low and high end once site size, local market, and buildout scope are factored in. That total bundles the franchise fee of $25K together with equipment, leasehold buildout, and the working capital needed to get through ramp-up.

The brand charges 3.0% of gross sales in ongoing royalties. No Item 19 financial performance data is disclosed for Sparkle Wash; the FTC Franchise Rule makes that disclosure optional, and plenty of franchisors skip it. Prospective buyers should compensate by calling Item 20 contacts, building their own unit-economics model from comparable brands, and insisting on real profit-and-loss numbers before signing.

Network momentum is currently positive: Sparkle Wash added units at a 2.5% net rate year-over-year (10 openings, 5 closures). Sustained positive growth is a signal that the unit-economics are working well enough to attract new operators, though late-stage growth can also reflect aggressive sales push rather than operational health.
