Item 19
What The Seals franchisees actually report earning
This brand's FDD publishes no Item 19.
We do not make any representations about a franchisee’s future financial performance or the past financial performance of Company-owned or franchised outlets. We also do not authorize our employees or representatives to make any such representations, either orally or in writing. If you are purchasing an existing outlet, however, we may provide you with the actual records of that outlet. If you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, you should report it to our management by contacting Justin Ghadery at The Seals Franchising, LLC, 6700 Forum Drive, Suite 150, Orlando, Florida 32821, the Federal Trade Commission, and appropriate state regulatory agencies.

Item 20
How many The Seals outlets there are, and how many closed
The Seals ended 2025 with 6 franchised outlets and no company-owned outlets. In that year 1 franchised outlet opened and none left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2023 through 2025, The Seals opened 4 franchised outlets and no outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 4, from 2 to 6 franchised outlets.
With fewer than 10 outlets, one closure moves the numbers a lot, so we do not calculate a yearly rate.
Our arithmetic from the FDD's Item 20 table below. "Left the system" counts every outlet the franchisor reports as terminated, not renewed, bought back, or closed for other reasons.
