Holiday Stationstores franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Holiday Stationstores 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 Holiday Stationstores — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (42% of food & beverage franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Holiday Stationstores's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Food & beverage franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Holiday Stationstores lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for Holiday Stationstores. 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.
Holiday Stationstores closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Holiday Stationstores 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 Holiday Stationstores'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. Holiday Stationstores's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.
Who owns Holiday Stationstores?
Holiday Stationstores's franchise is offered by HOLIDAY DIVERSIFIED SERVICES, LLC — 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.
Other food & beverage franchises
Anyone weighing Holiday Stationstores 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.
Holiday Stationstores franchise — frequently asked

Holiday Stationstores's most recently filed FDD (2024) names HOLIDAY DIVERSIFIED SERVICES, LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself.

How much profit does a Holiday Stationstores franchise make?
Holiday Stationstores makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Holiday Stationstores 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.
