How much does a Clean Juice franchise make?
Clean Juice 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 food & beverage brand that discloses earnings in the Food & beverage franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Clean Juice 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 Clean Juice's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Clean Juice franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Clean Juice franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
Clean Juice lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Clean Juice'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 Clean Juice 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.
Clean Juice closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Clean Juice 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 Clean Juice'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. Clean Juice's latest tables show significant franchisee turnover. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 21.7%, against a food & beverage median of 3.3% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved -14 to 55 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Clean Juice?
Clean Juice's franchise is offered by CJ Fresh Holdings FC, LLC — 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 WI DFI; 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:

Clean Juice franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Clean Juice — who is the franchisor?
Clean Juice's most recently filed FDD (2026) names CJ Fresh Holdings FC, LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. The same franchisor also files FDDs for CJ Fresh Holdings FC. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Clean Juice franchise cost?
Clean Juice's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $241,000 – $417,500, with an initial franchise fee of $30,000 and a 6% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against food & beverage peers it sits in the upper quartile (median $379,725).
How much profit does a Clean Juice franchise make?
Clean Juice discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties (6% of gross for Clean Juice), the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Clean Juice franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.
Does Clean Juice disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
Yes — Clean Juice reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly, so check Item 19 of the source FDD for the numbers.
Are there lawsuits against Clean Juice?
Clean Juice's most recently filed FDD (2026) discloses legal proceedings in Item 3. Item 3 covers the franchisor, its predecessors, parents and affiliates — so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Clean Juice itself, and a disclosure is not a finding of wrongdoing.
Is Clean Juice a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from Clean Juice's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against food & beverage peers and against your own budget.
