Orange Leaf is a frozen yogurt franchise system that has experienced significant unit decline over the past three years, dropping from 82 stores to 61. The franchise offers Traditional Stores requiring $349k-$522k investment and Non-Traditional Stores requiring $197k-$390k. Top quartile performers averaged $706,905 in sales. The 5% royalty and 3% ad fund rates are reasonable. However, the FDD specifically flags the franchisor's financial condition as questionable regarding their ability to provide ongoing support. The system requires significant owner involvement and offers protected territories with some exceptions for closed markets and alternative distribution channels.
