SCOOPS LACROSSE FRANCHISING

The vendor opportunity at SCOOPS LACROSSE FRANCHISING

SCOOPS LACROSSE FRANCHISING presents a micro-opportunity for software vendors. The system, headquartered in Massachusetts, reports a single company-owned unit in its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. No franchised locations are currently operating, and year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed. The royalty rate is set at 7.0% on a 5-year initial term. For a vendor, the total addressable market is exactly one location, making this a direct-to-HQ sales motion rather than a scaled franchise play.

Who controls software purchasing

Purchasing authority rests with the two managers listed in Item 1 of the FDD: Matt Belson and Pete McIntire. No other executives, IT leadership, or procurement officers are on file. In a system of this size, these individuals likely serve as the de facto CIO, CFO, and operations lead. Any software pitch should be directed at this duo, framed around how a tool can support their single-site operations and any future franchising ambitions.

Mandated and current tech stack

The only mandated technology disclosed is Squarespace. This suggests the brand’s digital storefront and web presence are standardized on that platform. No point-of-sale, scheduling, CRM, or back-office systems are named in the FDD. Vendors selling complementary or replacement tech should be prepared to discover the existing stack during discovery calls, as the public disclosure provides minimal detail.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—remains unknown. Renewal terms are clearer: a franchisee in good standing may renew for one additional 5-year term by providing 180 days’ written notice, paying a $5,000 renewal fee, and executing a new agreement that may contain materially different terms. However, with no franchised units on file, this renewal cycle is theoretical. For now, software contract timing is driven entirely by the HQ team’s internal calendar.

The 2025 FDD is the primary source for all data points discussed here. It confirms the single-unit structure, the 7.0% royalty, the 5-year term, and the Squarespace mandate. The document is filed with state franchise regulators and is available for review below.
