Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi AFC Wild Blue franchise profit — what the FDD discloses

Plainly: Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi AFC Wild Blue does not disclose franchise profit or revenue.

Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi AFC Wild Blue lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi AFC Wild Blue's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) does disclose legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi AFC Wild Blue itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
