Lemon Fresh Cleaners franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Lemon Fresh Cleaners 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 Lemon Fresh Cleaners — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (74% of cleaning & restoration franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Lemon Fresh Cleaners's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Cleaning & restoration franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Lemon Fresh Cleaners lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Lemon Fresh Cleaners's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) 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.
Lemon Fresh Cleaners closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Lemon Fresh Cleaners 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 Lemon Fresh Cleaners's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a cleaning & restoration 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. Lemon Fresh Cleaners's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.
Who owns Lemon Fresh Cleaners?
Lemon Fresh Cleaners's franchise is offered by Lemon Fresh Franchise 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.

Lemon Fresh Cleaners franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Lemon Fresh Cleaners — who is the franchisor?
Lemon Fresh Cleaners's most recently filed FDD (2024) names Lemon Fresh Franchise 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 Lemon Fresh Cleaners franchise cost?

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

No — Lemon Fresh Cleaners's most recently filed FDD (2024) discloses no litigation in Item 3. Franchisors must disclose material litigation involving themselves, their predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 is a genuine signal rather than an omission.
