# Shredder Franchise

> Shredder is America's first national franchised indoor ski and snowboard school for kids ages 1–16 — a youth ski progression brand (not a ski school, simulator rental, or activity center). shredderfranchise.com is the site for prospective franchise owners.

## Key facts
- Initial investment: $231,676–$439,209 (per FDD Item 7). Protected, exclusive territories. SBA-eligible.
- 9 locations open across 6 states; 5 more signed and in development; 100+ U.S. markets targeted (~80 still available).
- Owner-operated for over a decade; 30,000+ kids trained.
- Built to be operated, not performed — owners do not need to be ski instructors.
