How much does a Discover Strength franchise make?

Discover Strength 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.

Discover Strength 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 Discover Strength's 18% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Discover Strength franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Discover Strength franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.

Discover Strength lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Discover Strength's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) 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.

Discover Strength closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Discover Strength 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 Discover Strength's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a fitness 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. Discover Strength's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Net franchised outlets moved +11 to 25 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Discover Strength?

Discover Strength's franchise is offered by Discover Strength Franchising 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.
