Cowboy Jack's franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Cowboy Jack's 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 Cowboy Jack's — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (54% of full-service restaurant franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Cowboy Jack's's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Full-service restaurant franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Cowboy Jack's lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for Cowboy Jack's. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.
Cowboy Jack's closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Cowboy Jack'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 Cowboy Jack's's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a full-service restaurant 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. Cowboy Jack's's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.
Who owns Cowboy Jack's?
Cowboy Jack's's franchise is offered by AMG Franchises 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.
Other full-service restaurant franchises
Anyone weighing Cowboy Jack's is really weighing it against the other brands their money could go into. These are the closest by total initial investment (FDD Item 7), each with its own FDD-based page.
Cowboy Jack's franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Cowboy Jack's — who is the franchisor?
Cowboy Jack's's most recently filed FDD (2026) names AMG Franchises LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Cowboy Jack's franchise cost?
Cowboy Jack's's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at a range disclosed in Item 7, with an initial franchise fee of $45,000. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote.
How much profit does a Cowboy Jack's franchise make?
Cowboy Jack's makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Cowboy Jack's at all — and profit would never be disclosed even where earnings are, because it depends on your rent, labor and how you operate. Any profit figure quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure.
Does Cowboy Jack's disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — Cowboy Jack's's most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing: 54% of full-service restaurant franchisors in our corpus do disclose.
Are there lawsuits against Cowboy Jack's?
We do not publish a litigation answer for Cowboy Jack's: Item 3 could not be read reliably from this filing, and we would rather say so than assert a clean record we have not verified. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check.
Is Cowboy Jack's a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from Cowboy Jack's's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against full-service restaurant peers and against your own budget.
