Franchise Brokers: Have ZERO DonutNV Franchise Owners Failed?

Franchise brokers claim they are CONSULTANTS, that they are ethical and diligent franchise EXPERTS qualified to guide the trusting and inexperienced opportunity seekers to safe investments with reputable franchisors.  How many franchise consultants ask hard questions and do research when it comes to their hot-selling opportunities like DonutNV?  And how many simply present the franchisor’s or FSO’s propaganda unquestioned… and collect their commissions regardless of the outcome?  by Sean Kelly

(UnhappyFranchisee.Com)  Franchise brokers:  It’s 2025.  Have you checked on your “clients” lately?

Is the DonutNV Franchise Too Good to be True?

Franchise brokers and sellers have been celebrating their success selling hundreds of DonutNV franchises – and possibly generating millions of dollars in referral and sales commissions.

The brokers at Franchise Fastlane, Franchise Sidekick, IFPG, Franchoice and others are likely excited to sell this too-good-to-be-true success story to 40-50-60 year olds and retirees eager for the cushy, non-physical work of running a mobile concession trailer into their Golden Years.

They are gearing up to get more franchise investors than ever to roll over their IRAs, invest their savings and drive those up broker (consultant) commissions with the purportedly risk-free DonutNV franchise opportunity.

Amanda Gingold & Alex Gingold celebrated by jetting over “to enjoy one of our favorite events of the year, the Bahamas Culinary Food and Wine Festival at Baha Mar.”  Alex took just a moment to slow down in between calls, texts and emails, to start preparing for his “strongest year yet in 2025!”

Jake Hamburger reflects on the past 3 years of his professional career since entering the world of franchising and winning numerous sales awards:

Franchising has changed my life and my family’s life in so many positive ways and I could not be more thankful to have fallen backwards into an industry full of exceptional business minds, colleagues and now friends!

According to the DonutNV FDD Dated 11/16/24, Only Two Franchisees Left the System

According to the DonutNV Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) dated April 29, 2024 and amended November 16, 2024, only two franchisees have left the system, both through selling their franchises:

• GA   Marshall Moore, Elizabeth Moore 4137 Barberry Dr. NE, Roswell GA 30075
• MN   Andrew Nessler, Christine Nessler 1106 Lor Ray Drive, North Mankato MN 56003

Has anyone checked to confirm that all of the franchisees disclosed below are still active and operational?

Are they all averaging $78.5% profit with $133,359 adjusted net profit with after franchise fees, as represented in the DonutNV FDD?

Or 84% net profit margin and $169,799 adjusted net profit as advertised?

Are they generating $180,000 per year working just 30-35 hours per week, as some have reportedly been told?
