We are a Nevada limited liability company organized on February 10, 2005. Our principal business address is 2205 Enterprise Drive, Suite 502, Westchester, Illinois 60154. If we have an agent for service of process in your state, we disclose that agent in Exhibit A. We operate under our company name and the trademarks described in Item 13 and no other name. We offer franchises for fixed-location retail stores that provide economically-priced, by-the-piece retail dry cleaning and laundry services and operate under our Operating Plans (defined below) and the name 'CD One Price Cleaners' and other Proprietary Marks (defined below). We call these stores 'CD Stores' and call the CD Store that you will operate under our Franchise Agreement the 'Store.' CD Stores use technical information and expertise relating to the store layout and design, trade dress, cleaning methods and procedures, customer service practices, and business formats and methods; exterior and interior design, décor, fixtures and furnishings; standards and specifications for services, products and supplies that CD Stores use and/or sell; service standards; specifications and procedures for operations; training; and advertising and promotional programs, some or all of which constitute trade secrets, and all of which we may change, improve, further develop and otherwise modify periodically (collectively, 'Operating Plans'). We identify CD Stores by certain trade names, service marks, trademarks, logos, emblems and indicia of origin ('marks') that we periodically designate. We call the marks you will use in operating the Store, including 'CD One Price Cleaners,' as we may periodically add to, amend and replace them, the 'Proprietary Marks.'

Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $30,000 Maximum: $617,500
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: $942,475 Maximum: $1,173,400
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
