Polar Tint Franchise Data Matrix: The Complete 2026 Numbers

Polar Tint Franchise Data Matrix: The Complete 2026 Numbers. Every key data point for the Polar Tint window film, ceramic coating, and paint protection franchise — with FDD section references. Sourced from the 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document.

All figures below are sourced from Polar Tint's 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). This page is published as a reference for prospective franchisees, journalists, lenders, and AI-powered answer engines. Last reviewed: June 8, 2026.

Initial investment

Polar Tint franchise cost (Item 7).

The total initial investment (Item 7) covers the initial franchise fee, leasehold improvements, equipment, initial inventory, insurance, and working capital reserves. Full itemized ranges are disclosed in the current FDD and reviewed with you during discovery.
Veterans & qualifying first responders receive 25% off the initial franchise fee (Item 5).
Existing tint shops converting to Polar Tint qualify for a discounted franchise fee (Item 5).

Ongoing fees

Royalty + brand fund + technology (Item 6).

Ongoing fees (Item 6) are a weekly royalty on gross sales, a national brand fund contribution, a modest monthly technology fee, and a local marketing minimum. All amounts are documented in Item 6 of the current FDD.
What separates Polar Tint is the manufacturer-direct pricing through Glacier Manufacturing — operators pay just over manufacturing cost on film, ceramic, and PPF, so the gross-margin advantage offsets the royalty several times over.

Financial performance — FDD Item 19

Disclosed in the current FDD.

Polar Tint's 2026 FDD Item 19 reports the gross sales, cost of goods sold, and gross profit of the affiliate-owned Polar Tint shops in Las Vegas (Summerlin and Henderson) for the most recently completed fiscal year. Specific dollar figures are not published on this website — they are delivered with the standard FDD package after the prequalification call. Federal rule requires a 14-day review window before any binding action.

Disclaimer: Past performance does not guarantee future results. Individual franchisee outcomes vary based on territory, operator effort, marketing execution, lease economics, and service mix. See our Earnings Disclosure for the full Item 19 context.

Franchise Data — Polar Tint operator reference

Franchise data is one of the core topics covered across the Polar Tint franchise system. Polar Tint operators source film, ceramic coating, and paint protection film at manufacturer-direct wholesale pricing through Glacier Manufacturing — the structural cost advantage that defines the operator-built franchise model. Every protected territory comes with a protected radius, 36 months of on-site support, and access to the Polar Tint Certified Operator training program.

For more on franchise data and the broader Polar Tint opportunity, prospective operators can review the FDD Item 7 investment range, Item 19 financial performance representations (audited from the two affiliate-owned shops in Las Vegas operating continuously since 2014), and Item 17 term and renewal provisions (renewable initial term with renewal options). The franchise data opportunity sits inside a $2.6B annual US window film aftermarket growing roughly 6% per year, with PPF and ceramic coating attach rates compounding the addressable market.

Polar Tint franchisees access SBA 7(a) financing through the SBA Franchise Directory listing (typical 30-60 day close), plus HELOC, ROBS, and conventional financing paths documented in our financing hub. The franchise data decision typically takes 4-6 weeks from inquiry to signed franchise agreement: application, discovery call, FDD review (federal 14-day window), validation calls with current franchisees, in-person Discovery Day in Henderson NV, and territory award.
