Poolwerx FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document) — 2026
The FDD is the 23-item legal disclosure every U.S. franchisor must hand you at least 14 days before you sign or pay anything (FTC Franchise Rule, 16 CFR 436). Poolwerx's most recent FDD tracked here was filed in 2026 with the Minnesota Department of Commerce (public CARDS portal) — and because registration-state filings are public records, you can read it free, without giving a broker your phone number.

"As of December 31, 2025, there were 45 franchisees open and operating (with a total of 107 Territories), and 31 of these franchisees are 'Qualifying Franchisees.' Of the 45 franchisees that were open and operating as of December 31, 2025, 14 franchisees were not considered Qualifying Franchisees for the following reasons: (i) 12 franchisees (with a total of 19 Territories) were excluded because they opened during the Measurement Period and therefore were not open for the entire Measurement Period; and (ii) 2 franchisees (with a total of 2 Territories) were excluded because they were non-operational during the Measurement Period." Measurement Period = 2025 calendar year; each franchisee (not each Territory) is treated as a separate "outlet." Lowest $74,016; Highest $20,787,806; 6/31 (19%) met or exceeded the average. Data was not audited or verified by an independent CPA; no expense information included.) |
