THE SEALS - Refrigeration Gasket Specialists

Ongoing costs include a tiered royalty that steps down as annual billings rise, a promotional fund contribution, a flat monthly technology fee, and a first-year local marketing minimum, with a floor monthly royalty that climbs over time. Because the FDD discloses no revenue figures, the real weight of these fees against a typical unit's sales cannot be modeled from the document. The top-line take is heaviest at the lower sales tiers where new units are most likely to operate.

The Seals opts out of making any financial performance representation, so the FDD provides no system sales or earnings data with which to gauge returns. Because none is disclosed, no single system average or median can be quoted, and prospects must build their own projections from outside sources or by contacting current and former owners. Any records shared for an existing outlet being purchased would show top-line billings rather than profit.

Source-reviewed FDD Item 3 discloses 0 actions. The legal-context read remains locked in Pro.

Item 20 reports 6 franchised units in 2025 with no net change, alongside 12 signed agreements not yet open and 15 projected. The system is very young with a thin validation pool.

The franchise runs an initial term with two successive renewal terms on then-current terms, conditioned on compliance and notice within a defined window. Transfer conditions, a franchisor right of first refusal, a limited post-term purchase right, a death-and-disability path, and in-term and post-term non-compete covenants are disclosed.
