How much does a CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S® franchise make?

CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S® is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every other brand that discloses earnings in the Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S® franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S®'s 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S® franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S® franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.

CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S® lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S®'s most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) 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 CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S® 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.

CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S® closures & failure rate

Before you sign, CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S® 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 CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S®'s most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a franchise 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. CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S®'s latest tables show a stable franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 9.4%. Net franchised outlets moved 0 to 139 in the latest reported year.

Who owns CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S®?

CAPRIOTTI’S SANDWICH SHOP® and CAPRIOTTI’S®'s franchise is offered by CAPRIOTTI'S SANDWICH SHOP INC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at MN CARDS; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it. The same franchisor files separate FDDs for other brands, which is worth knowing — sibling brands share a franchise-support organization but disclose their own numbers:
