The vendor opportunity at Kramerica Enterprises
Kramerica Enterprises is a small home-services system: 5 franchised units, no company-owned locations, as of the 2025 FDD. Royalty runs at 12% of sales on a ten-year initial term, and unit count grew 400% year over year off a small base — a system in its early growth phase rather than a mature one.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 names Jason Lopez as Chief Executive Officer, James C. Smith as Chairman of the Board, and Corey Thompson as General Manager. All five mapped operators run a single unit each, concentrated in Wisconsin and Illinois — a small enough footprint that any system-wide software decision runs through this leadership team directly rather than through operator scale.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Item 11 of the FDD sets out Kramerica Enterprises's technology and training requirements. Review it alongside Item 8 before pitching operational software — the embedded filing below carries the specifics.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 runs an approved-supplier-list model: franchisees must buy or lease certain items only from manufacturers the franchisor has approved in writing, and the franchisor can require other products or services to be purchased only from approved suppliers as well. Franchisees may propose an alternative supplier for approval. Item 17 gives franchisees a renewal at the end of the ten-year initial term, conditioned on timely written notice, resolved compliance issues, payment of amounts owed, a signed then-current agreement, meeting then-current qualifications, a renewal fee and a signed release. With only five units on the books, near-term software decisions here are more likely tied to bringing new locations online than to renewal cycles.
