Company Information
9720 Wilshire Boulevard Suite 500
The franchisor is Marble Slab Franchising, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. It was formed on January 17, 2007, and its principal place of business is 9720 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 500, Beverly Hills, California. It began offering Marble Slab Creamery franchises in June 2007 and is a direct subsidiary of Marble Slab Franchise Brands LLC.
We franchise businesses under the name 'Precision Door Service' and have done so since February 2005. We are not involved in any other business activities and have not offered franchises in any other line of business. We only operate garage door repair service businesses on a temporary basis where we have placed advertising and there is no franchisee to operate the business at the time the advertising is placed. In addition, because advertising placement may last a year, we may operate the business as a result of an abandonment by a franchisee or a termination until a new franchisee is identified and a Franchise Agreement is signed. Through the merger, we assumed the franchise agreements held by existing franchisees. PDS offered franchises from September 1999 through February 2005. PDS also offered area development agreements between June 1999 and December 1999. All area developers have converted to franchises or have left the Precision Door system. PDS did not offer franchises or operate businesses in any other line of business.

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $25,000 Maximum: $25,000
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: $354,500 Maximum: $476,650
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.
