Flowerama franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Flowerama 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 Flowerama — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing; the fees, litigation and outlet churn Flowerama's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Flowerama lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Flowerama's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) 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 Flowerama 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.
Flowerama closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Flowerama 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 Flowerama'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. Flowerama's latest tables show a shrinking franchised network — more units left than opened. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 11.1%. Net franchised outlets moved -4 to 32 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Flowerama?
Flowerama's franchise is offered by FLOWERAMA OF AMERICA, INC. (STANDARD) — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024), 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.

Flowerama franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Flowerama — who is the franchisor?
Flowerama's most recently filed FDD (2024) names FLOWERAMA OF AMERICA, INC. (STANDARD) as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself.

How much does a Flowerama franchise cost?
Flowerama's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $227,000 – $855,000, with an initial franchise fee of $17,500 and a 6% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against category peers it sits in the bottom quartile (median $227,750).
How much profit does a Flowerama franchise make?
Flowerama makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Flowerama 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 Flowerama disclose financial performance (Item 19)?

Are there lawsuits against Flowerama?
Flowerama's most recently filed FDD (2024) 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 Flowerama itself, and a disclosure is not a finding of wrongdoing.
