Frequently Asked Questions

Is Kilwins Chocolates and Ice Cream Store growing or shrinking?

Kilwins Chocolates and Ice Cream Store's SBA loan count fell 25% year-over-year. A decline in SBA financing doesn't necessarily mean the brand is shrinking -- franchisees may be using other financing, or SBA lending patterns may have shifted broadly.

How much does it cost to open a Kilwins Chocolates and Ice Cream Store franchise?

We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $540K (30% above the typical Retail brand's $415K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.

What's the SBA loan default rate for Kilwins Chocolates and Ice Cream Store?

2 of 64 SBA loans to Kilwins Chocolates and Ice Cream Store franchisees (3.1%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 1.1% across all Retail brands.
