How much does a Mi-Box franchise make?
Mi-Box 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. See every other brand that discloses earnings in the Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Mi-Box 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 the royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Mi-Box franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Mi-Box franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
Mi-Box lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Mi-Box's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose 6 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 Mi-Box 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. 5 of those proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
Mi-Box closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Mi-Box 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 Mi-Box's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a other 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. Mi-Box's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 0%. Net franchised outlets moved +3 to 10 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Mi-Box?
Mi-Box's franchise is offered by Mi-Box L.L.C. — 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.

Mi-Box franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Mi-Box — who is the franchisor?
Mi-Box's most recently filed FDD (2026) names Mi-Box L.L.C. 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 Mi-Box franchise cost?
Mi-Box's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $228,140 – $275,644, with an initial franchise fee of $30,000. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against other peers it sits in the lower quartile (median $227,750).
How much profit does a Mi-Box franchise make?
Mi-Box discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties, the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Mi-Box franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.
Does Mi-Box disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
Yes — Mi-Box reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly, so check Item 19 of the source FDD for the numbers.
Are there lawsuits against Mi-Box?
Mi-Box's most recently filed FDD (2026) discloses 6 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 Mi-Box itself, and a disclosure is not a finding of wrongdoing. 5 of the disclosed proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor.
Is Mi-Box a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from Mi-Box's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against other peers and against your own budget.
