Learn Which Franchises Can Make You Rich

Ambrosio’s Take

Screenmobile is a mobile screen repair and replacement franchise serving homes and businesses, a niche service category with low overhead and a compelling sales-to-investment ratio of 2.7:1. The operating expense data is the most important thing to understand in this FDD: the average across 105 reporting territories was 71% of gross revenue, leaving an estimated operating profit of $140,327, though the top quartile of territories operated at just 43% of gross revenue in expenses while the bottom quartile averaged 100%. That spread tells you execution and volume are the two variables that determine whether this business generates a strong return or barely breaks even. Payback on the modest $148,049 to $209,592 investment range comes in at an estimated 1.1 to 1.5 years for franchisees performing at the average, though that timeline assumes new owners reach typical volume faster than is often realistic in the first year or two.

Ambrosio’s Take is a new feature on all Franchise Chatter FDD Talk posts based on the 2026 FDD.

  • In this Item, Screenmobile presents certain historical information for Screenmobile Franchised Businesses for the 2025 fiscal year.
  • As of December 31, 2025, Screenmobile had 96 franchisees operating in 138 Territories. Parts 1 through 3 present information on 130 Territories that were in operation for the entire 2025 fiscal year.
  • Excluded from these tables are 6 Territories that ceased operating during the 2025 fiscal year (all of which operated for more than 12 months) and 8 Territories that opened during the 2025 fiscal year.
  • The Territories that were in operation prior to February 8, 2023, are Territories that pre-date AB Inc.’s acquisition of the Screenmobile brand and franchise system. These Territories range from 50,000 Households to 275,000 Households, which means some have more Households and some have fewer Households than a typical territory as described in Item 12 of the disclosure document (i.e., one consisting of a population of approximately 150,000 Households and defined using postal zip codes). The tables combine the data for all Territory sizes and the combined results are relevant for a typical territory as now described in Item 12.
