About This Listing
Tumbledry's franchise page invites franchisees but does not publish a franchise fee, a royalty percentage, an agreement term or the terms of the investment figure: 'Total Investment 20 Lakh*' carries an asterisk with no footnote, and the agreement is 'available with our network team'. Until the brand puts those terms in writing, we show the offer as unconfirmed rather than open (read 2 Nov 2026).

Unit Economics
Brand's own figuresHow Tumbledry says an outlet's numbers work. These are illustrations, not guarantees — check them against existing franchisees before you sign.
FOFO
- Monthly profit per store (brand claim)No sample size or assumptions given; does not reconcile with the page's own 65% ROI and 24-month recovery.
- 1,70,000 INR
What Tumbledry Says You Can Earn
Brand claimTumbledry's own claim — no evidence given. These are not FranchiseChuno's estimates or a promise of earnings; ask existing franchisees what they actually make.
- Annual return on investmentYearly profit as a share of the total investment.
- 65%
- PaybackMonths until cumulative profit equals what you invested.
- 24 months
- Operating break-evenMonths until monthly profit turns positive — not the same as getting your money back.
- 3 months
- Monthly profit
- ₹1.7 L
Brand claims on its franchise page (read 2 Nov 2026): monthly profit 1.7 lakh, annual ROI 65%, investment recovery 24 months, break-even 3 months, and '95% stores become profitable from 3rd month'. No sample size, period or method is given. The figures do not agree with each other: 1.7 lakh a month on a 20 lakh investment is about 102% a year (payback under 12 months), while 65% a year implies roughly 1.1 lakh a month and a payback of about 18 months. The page's own 'investment recovery' is 24 months. Treat all four as marketing claims. The page's video title also calls the franchise 'with assured profits in 3 months'; it appears only as a video title; the page states no guarantee, no minimum return and no buy-back, so we do not treat it as a promised return. Ask for any such promise in writing.

Customer complaint about a franchise store in Vadodara (Oct 2025)
A customer says curtains were first delivered to the wrong address, no bill was issued, a promised 20% first-order discount was not applied and a staff member was rude; they ask the company to shut the store or take back the franchise. No company reply is shown on the page. One-sided and unverified.
