Cornwell Quality Tools Franchise Disclosure Document

Cornwell Quality Tools is a mobile tool franchise that sells professional-grade tools directly to mechanics and technicians. Founded in 1919, it is one of the oldest tool companies in the U.S., operating under a route-based franchise model. Franchisees operate tool trucks, servicing automotive shops, dealerships, and repair facilities within a defined territory. The investment includes inventory and a vehicle outfitted for mobile retail. Revenue comes from tool sales, often with flexible financing options for customers. The model does not require a retail location, keeping overhead relatively low. Success depends on route consistency and customer relationships.

With nearly 40,000 FDDs collected over the past 25+ years, our growing database is maintained and enriched by a dedicated information management team that ensures accuracy, completeness, and timely updates. Just as important, FRANdata understands that while FDDs offer a wealth of standardized information, they may not address every question a stakeholder has—particularly when it comes to franchise performance, operational nuances, or long-term growth potential. That's why we complement the information in FDDs with broader research and advisory capabilities, helping clients interpret what's there, understand the context, and access deeper insights when needed.
