Aunt Millie's Bakeries franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Aunt Millie's Bakeries does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for Aunt Millie's Bakeries — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (42% of food & beverage franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Aunt Millie's Bakeries's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Food & beverage franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Aunt Millie's Bakeries lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Aunt Millie's Bakeries's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
Aunt Millie's Bakeries closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Aunt Millie's Bakeries will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Aunt Millie's Bakeries's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a food & beverage of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Aunt Millie's Bakeries's latest tables show a shrinking franchised network — more units left than opened. Net franchised outlets moved -39 to 115 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Aunt Millie's Bakeries?
Aunt Millie's Bakeries's franchise is offered by Perfection Bakeries, Inc. — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
