If you are looking for information on the Foot Solutions franchise business opportunity, Foot Solution franchises or Foot Solutions franchising, then you have come to the right place.
An exciting new concept that focuses on health/wellness and meets the demands and needs of a rapidly growing segment of our population (the forty and older market). Using computer technology we scan our customers' feet and make custom comfort foot inserts, as well as custom orthotics.
Our stores carry a line of extra depth shoes for work, dress, and play to allow us to fit a person properly and to accommodate a custom insert or orthotic, as well as the hard to fit narrow and extra wide foot. We have a complete line of specialty products for the feet. Our business is a heavily referral based business and many clients make appointments with us for a computer foot scan and fitting. Approximately 25 to 30% of the people in the United States have foot problems - this is the niche market that we focus on. Our stores are open reasonable hours require only two to three people to staff the store.
Our customers notice the difference immediately when they are fitted with our custom insoles and shoes. When your feet feel good, you feel good! This is what we are trained to do. If you like to work with people, if you like making a difference, if you like feeling good afteryou have helped someone, this could be the business for you.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
