Franchise costs by brand

Figures below come from each brand's linked Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). Some records are provisional: their source review is incomplete or the FDD contains an unresolved conflict. Later reviews may also identify corrections in previously checked records. These source review holds are marked here and explained on their pages. The franchise exit rate is the yearly share of franchised units reported as leaving franchise ownership, averaged across the FDD's three years. A franchisor reacquisition is included even when the outlet keeps operating.

For research across brands, download the source-linked franchise cost dataset. Its review-status field identifies records with unresolved source issues; read each linked FDD before using a figure.
