The FDD doesn't include any units for sale. Owners use business brokers and listing sites to sell. Also ask Baskin-Robbins's franchise team whether an owner nearby is selling.
The seller determines the price. Request profit and loss statements covering three years, and compare the price with the $307,400 to $626,700 cost to open a new Baskin-Robbins.
