By Swet Parvadiya Author review by Swet Parvadiya Updated Oct 29, 2026 Source: Crumbl 2026 FDD (Item 19)

In Item 19 of its 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document, Crumbl reports average gross sales for franchised bakeries open full year of $1,139,162 (2025, 776 franchised bakeries open all 12 months in 2025). The figures below are selected disclosures, not a substitute for reading the full Item 19.

Startup cost: a Crumbl franchise costs an estimated $848,566 – $1,472,533 to open (Item 7). See the full Crumbl franchise cost breakdown.

Does Crumbl’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?

No. Crumbl’s Item 19 reports sales but no profit, costs or owner pay. Rent, payroll, supplies, loan payments and Item 6 fees such as the royalty (8% of Gross Sales) come out of sales before an owner is paid, so these figures cannot show what an owner earns.

Item 19 sample and definitions

Item 19 (PDF pages 70-71) covers 776 locations that operated continuously through 2025 and submitted complete financial reports on time, of 1,048 franchised outlets open all year; 346 (about 45%) met or exceeded the $1,139,162 average. Eight locations that closed in 2025 are excluded. The July 1, 2026 amendment adds supplemental gross sales for January-May 2026 for 621 of those locations: average $364,193, median $344,951.

How to interpret Crumbl’s Item 19 figures and sample limits · What Item 19 does and does not show about owner pay.

Some recurring charges depend on a sales subset, usage or another amount not supplied by the annual sales figure. We do not combine them into an all-sales percentage or estimate total fees. Reported sales are not owner income.

Scope of these figures: The selected Crumbl disclosures above retain their recorded periods and samples. The lead figure covers 776 franchised bakeries open all 12 months in 2025. They do not establish take-home owner income or the results of a new outlet. Read the linked Item 19 for the franchisor's definitions and exclusions.
