How much does a Hungry Howie's Pizza + Subs franchise make?
Hungry Howie's Pizza + Subs 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 is $872,531 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations).

Hungry Howie's Pizza + Subs 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 Hungry Howie's Pizza + Subs's 5.5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Hungry Howie's Pizza + Subs franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Hungry Howie's Pizza + Subs franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $872,531 of revenue, a 5.5% royalty alone is about $47,989 a year before any other cost.
Hungry Howie's Pizza + Subs lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for Hungry Howie's Pizza + Subs. 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.
Hungry Howie's Pizza + Subs closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Hungry Howie's Pizza + Subs 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 Hungry Howie's Pizza + Subs's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a quick-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. Hungry Howie's Pizza + Subs's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.
